Novel Machine Vision Image Guidance System Significantly Reduces Procedural Time and Radiation Exposure Compared With 2-dimensional Fluoroscopy-based Guidance in Pediatric Deformity Surgery.
MvIGS reduced the operative time by 63.6 minutes and reduced intraoperative radiation exposure by 66%, which may play an important role in reducing the risks to the surgeon and operating room staff associated with radiation in spinal surgery procedures.

The machine-vision image guided surgery system reduces fluoroscopy time, ionizing radiation and intraoperative blood loss in posterior spinal fusion for scoliosis.
MvIGS for screw insertion in PSF contributed to a significant reduction in intraoperative radiation exposure and fluoroscopy time, as well as blood loss and length of stay. The real-time feedback and ability to visualize the pedicle in 3D with MvIGS enabled greater curve correction without increa...

"Ultra-low Dose" CT without sedation is feasible and should be considered as part of the preoperative optimization pathway in paediatric neuromuscular scoliosis patients.
“Ultra-low dose” CT scans without sedation were feasible in paediatric patients with neuromuscular scoliosis. The effective dose was similar between the standard preoperative spinal XR and “ultra-low dose” CT scans. The “ultra-low dose” CT scan allowed accurate assessment of the anatomy, aided in...
