Feasibility and Accuracy of Robotic-Assisted Navigation for Thoracic Pedicle Screw Placement Using CT-Like 3D-MRI
This cadaveric study demonstrates that MRI-based RAN can accurately guide thoracic pedicle screw placement. The findings suggest MRI-based RAN could provide a radiation-free alternative for thoracic spine instrumentation, particularly beneficial for pediatric and adolescent patients.
