Guiding surgeons along the spine

摘要

An augmented reality system designed to guide surgeons through delicate minimally invasive spinal i procedures has been developed by Philips.The system, which combines camera images of the outside of the patient with three-dimensional X-rays of the inside of the body, is designed to create a detailed path for the spinal surgeon to follow. This could help to improve surgical tool navigation and implant accuracy, as well as reducing procedure times.
