Surgeon radiation exposure in cone beam computed tomography-based, image-guided spinal surgery
27 janvier 2012
adiation exposure to the surgeon is a concern in spinal surgery, especially with the increasing popularity of minimally invasive spinal surgery techniques. Three-dimensional (3D) image guidance used in conjunction with cone beam computed tomography (cbCT) has a theoretical advantage of decreased radiation exposure to the surgeon and operating room (OR) staff. Radiation scatter to the environment immediately surrounding a CT scanner during acquisition of a CT scan is a known entity. This in vivo study measures the radiation exposure to the surgeon when using cbCT registration in 3D image-guided spinal surgery.
