Spinal Deformity Surgery with AI-Powered Surgical Guidance and Advanced Visualization Techniques

By Tommy Carls

Light field technology is illuminating a path to a deeper understanding of patient anatomy, surgeon methodology, and surgical environments. Traditionally, spine surgery navigation has depended on surgeons combining pre-operative imaging with intra-operative anatomy to execute their treatment plans. However, with light field technology and depth sensors, these technologies digitize the entire operative field, merging it seamlessly with preoperative imaging, effectively bridging the gap between unseen and visible physical anatomy of the spine. This provides surgeons with a three-dimensional anatomical view that exceeds what the naked eye can discern.
