Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The preoperative three-dimensional (3D) diagnosis and treatment. As patient’s posture changes, the intra-operative shape of spine is deferent form the preoperative. So the preoperative images can not reflect the intra-operative situation. And doctor can not ensure the smooth implementation of the operation.
OBJECTIVE: To correct preoperative spine models using intra-operative image.
METHODS: This paper presented an approach based on 2D/3D registration to correct preoperative images during operation. We use digitally reconstructed radiograph (DRR) to register CT to X-ray image. Then complete the feature registrations of all independent vertebra segments between intra-operative and preoperative X-ray images. The results of above registrations are exploited to fast correct the preoperative spine models.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Using marked cervical spine specimens for experiment, the deviation of the spine model can be basically eliminated after correction. The error between intra-operative and corrected preoperative spine model is less than 1mm. And clinical requirements can be met.
