3D surgical navigation

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.

A recap of a recent effort involving a small group of AIDC experts in devising a data integrity scheme suitable for protecting a new device identifier used in modern healthcare applications against mis-keying. It presents the group’s undertakings in researching solutions to ensure identifier integrity, the challenges encountered, and how a more complete understanding of the constraints of the intended application led to a departure from the initial design and resulted in the elegant solution that exists today.
