3D scanner aims to sharpen spine surgery precision
NCT ID NCT05195580
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early study tested an optical 3D scanner designed to help surgeons align spine anatomy during operations. The goal was to see if the scanner could accurately match a patient's spine to pre-surgery MRI or CT scans. Only 2 participants were enrolled before the study was terminated, so the findings are very limited.
