Comparison of novel machine vision spinal image guidance system with existing 3D fluoroscopy-based navigation system: a randomized prospective study
Randomized study comparing 7D to 3D Nav. 7D & 3D Nav demonstrate high accuracy for screw placement. 7D showed significant reduction in intraop radiation time (94.3%) & dose (97.8%). 7D does not require 3D-fluoro or radiolucent operating tables; reduced registration time & equip may reduce costs.
