METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATED PEDICLE SCREW PLACEMENT PLANNING FOR SAFE SPINAL FUSION SURGERY

摘要

The present invention discloses an automated optimal screw insertion path planning method for spinal surgery. (B) generating a patient mapping bone model by mapping the extracted vertebra bone model to an average bone model; (c) comparing the extracted patient bone model with a mean bone model, Extracting a spinal canal region of the patient from the mapping bone model; and (d) defining a pedicle region from the spinal canal region of the patient to calculate a screw insertion path corresponding to the patient .
