with osteoporotic vertebral fractures. Methods. A total of 100 patients with vertebral …

Introduction: Intraoperative three-dimensional (3D) imaging guide technology, such as the O-
arm surgical imaging system, is a beneficial tool in spinal surgery that provides real-time 3D …

PURPOSE: To compare angiographic computed tomographic (CT) imaging with standard
spiral CT imaging for the depiction of extraosseous cement after vertebral augmentation …

Background Patient radiation exposure associated with the use of computed tomography
(CT) navigation during spinal surgeries was widely compared with other intraoperative …

Cement leakage is a serious adverse event potentially occurring during vertebroplasty. Pre-
operative in-silico planning of the cement filling process can help reducing complication …
