Periscopic Spine Surgery

Abstract

This project is aimed at improving the state of the art of image-guided and minimally invasive procedures by developing a new generation of clinical techniques along with the computer-based hardware and software needed for their implementation. The focus of the project is to develop physician assist systems incorporating robotics, tracking, and visualization to improve the precision of instrument placement and manipulation in minimally invasive procedures. The project is led by the Imaging Sciences and Information Systems (ISIS) Center of the Department of Radiology at Georgetown University.
