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.
