Feb

Overview

Image guided surgery uses preoperative and intraoperative imaging for navigation. It improves targeting and preserves critical structures. Navigation systems integrate imaging with surgical tools.

Neurosurgical Use

Navigation aids tumor resection and functional mapping in neurosurgery. It reduces risk to eloquent cortex and deep structures. Real time updates improve safety and outcomes.

Orthopedic Applications

Guidance supports accurate implant placement and deformity correction. CT based planning and intraoperative imaging enhance precision. Navigation reduces variability in complex cases.

Future Trends

Augmented reality and robotics integrate with image guidance. Real time imaging and improved registration enhance capabilities. Research focuses on usability and clinical benefit.

Overview

C arm systems provide real time fluoroscopy in operating rooms and procedure rooms for orthopedic vascular and pain procedures.

Technique

Image intensifier or flat panel detectors variable geometry and pulsed fluoroscopy optimize dose and image quality.

Clinical Uses

Fracture fixation spinal procedures vascular access and image guided pain interventions.

Limitations and Safety

Radiation exposure to staff. Shielding and positioning reduce occupational dose.
