Abstract

Study Design

Review article.

Objectives

To present the latest knowledge on spine surgery using augmented reality (AR).

Summary of Literature Review

AR is a new technology that simulates interactions with real-world surroundings using computer graphics, and it is a field that has recently been highlighted as part of the fourth industrial revolution.

Materials and Methods

Review of related literature and introduction of latest research.

Results

Spine surgery using AR is currently in its early stages. If industry, academia, and research institutes cooperate and develop, spine surgery using AR is highly likely to develop to the next level.

Conclusions

Spine surgeons should strive to develop relevant technology.

(A) Schematic illustration of augmented reality (AR)-based spine surgery. After attaching the AR marker (DRB) to the patient's vertebrae, and completing the computed tomography (CT)-fluoroscopy or paired-point matching, the motion of the vertebrae can be tracked by only tracking the position of the DRB with the RGB camera. After the matching process, the 3-dimensional (3D) reconstructed vertebrae from CT images and surgical instruments can be overlaid on the actual patient's vertebrae. (B) Demonstration of the 3D reconstructed model on a notebook display. (C) Example of an augmented spine 3D reconstruction model during spine surgery. (D) The experimental setup consisted of vertebrae, a RGB cam-era, the C-arm, and the AR marker.
