Autonomous Establishment of CT‐Independent Sections to Obtain Optimum Pedicle‐Screw Axis in Direction, Length, and Safety Margin
The method eliminates subjective assessment. It provides objective assessment in determining the pedicle-medial axis with optimal direction and margin without human annotation. Additionally, it significantly enhances screw placement accuracy in robot-assisted spinal fusion surgeries, regardless of vertebra orientation.
