Intraoperative spine orientation determination using surface data
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11950852B2) discloses a method for determining the intraoperative orientation of a spine using volumetric image data. The method involves processing the image data to generate multi-level surface data characterizing the bone surface of the spine. This data is then segmented on a per-level basis for each spinal level, followed by performing surface-to-surface registration between the segmented surface data and intraoperative surface data for each spinal level. By employing the registration transforms associated with the spinal levels, the method generates and displays parameters quantifying the relative intraoperative orientation and position of the spinal levels. These parameters include relative angles, intraoperative angles between spinal levels, distances characterizing relative positions, and spatial separations between spinal levels.
Furthermore, the patent describes a system for determining the intraoperative orientation of a spine, comprising a surface detection subsystem and computer hardware. The computer hardware processes volumetric image data, generates segmented surface data for each spinal level, and performs surface-to-surface registration between the segmented data and intraoperative surface data. The system then utilizes the registration transforms to display parameters numerically quantifying the relative intraoperative orientation and position of the spinal levels. These parameters include relative angles, intraoperative angles between spinal levels, distances characterizing positions, and spatial separations between spinal levels. The system aims to provide a comprehensive method for assessing and visualizing the orientation and position of spinal levels during surgery, enhancing the precision and accuracy of intraoperative procedures related to spinal alignment and positioning.
