Augmented Reality for Evaluation of Spinal Deformity and Spinal Pathologies

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Management of complex deformities is one of the most challenging clinical scenarios in spinal surgery. Designing a robust, patient-centered surgical plan requires detailed understanding of the anatomy in each case. As such, radiographic imaging is essential in appropriate surgical planning. Despite the advent of cross-sectional imaging platforms clinicians are forced to extrapolate the three-dimensional geometry of the human spine from two-dimensional axial, coronal and sagittal images, limiting the ability for the surgeon to understand the visuospatial nuances of the pathology in three dimensions.
