Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods that provide a computerized framework for performing a decision intelligence (DI)-based assessment and/or operation of/on a patient's spine. The disclosed spinal assessment framework provides a robotically actuated screw placement and assessment system. The disclosed framework can be implemented for the performance of a preoperative, intra-operative and/or post-operative spinal assessment/procedure. The disclosed spinal framework can be utilized for robotically-actuated pedicle screw placement, robotically-actuated bone removal and/or spine construct optimization via a spinal flexibility and alignment assessment.
Claims12
A method comprising;
- identifying, by a device, a medical image of a patient;
- analyzing, by the device, medical image, the analysis comprising auto-segmentation of the medical image;
- determining, by the device, based on the analysis, an optimal location for surface-based registration;
- performing, by the device, registration of a patient tracking array;
- determining, by the device, an accuracy of pedicle screw placement;
- creating, by the device, a vertebral body specific registration;
- and
- outputting, by the device, tracking information based at least on the created vertebral body specific registration and/or patient tracking array, the output caused to be displayed within a user interface (UI).
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium tangibly encoded with computer-executable instructions, that when executed by a device, perform a method comprising:
- identifying, by a device, a medical image of a patient;
- analyzing, by the device, medical image, the analysis comprising auto-segmentation of the medical image;
- determining, by the device, based on the analysis, an optimal location for surface-based registration;
- performing, by the device, registration of a patient tracking array;
- determining, by the device, an accuracy of pedicle screw placement;
- creating, by the device, a vertebral body specific registration;
- and
- outputting, by the device, tracking information based at least on the created vertebral body specific registration and/or patient tracking array, the output caused to be displayed within a user interface (UI).
