3D scanning to guide spine surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a 3D scanner that maps your spine during surgery to help the surgeon work more accurately. It is for people already planning spine surgery where the back bones are exposed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for spine surgery where the surgeon will directly see the back of your spine bones.
- You have had a CT scan before surgery or will have one during surgery to help guide the procedure.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You can understand instructions in any language with help from an interpreter if needed.
- You are not pregnant and not a prisoner.

This trial tests whether 3D imaging can help surgeons better plan and perform head and neck operations. If you're scheduled for head and neck surgery and standard scans, this study may improve your surgical precision.
This study checks whether a computer can automatically spot and label the bones in your spine using 3D information from a CT scan. It may help surgeons work faster and more accurately before spine surgery.
This trial uses 3D-printed models to help surgeons plan operations for broken bones in the mid or lower back. It aims to make surgery more precise and safer.
This study tests whether a 3D-printed implant that matches the shape of bone can safely and effectively support the spine after surgery for certain spine tumors. It may help with stability and recovery when a surgeon removes part of the spine bone (corpectomy).
This study records video of spine surgeries to see if a computer system can track the movements without special markers. It may help make future surgeries safer and more precise.
This trial is testing a new 3D-printed model of the spine to help plan surgeries. It may offer a more personalized approach to spine care.
