Application of Intraoperative Computed Tomography With or Without Navigation System in Surgical Correction of Spinal Deformity

Abstract

The iCT navigation system provides desirable accuracy of posterior spinal instrumentation for patients during surgical correction of spinal deformity without radiation exposure to the medical staff, especially in thoracic spine instrumentation. Meanwhile, the iCT in itself is an effective means of assessing complex instrumentation of the spinal deformity.
