Spine scanner study ends early after just one patient
NCT ID NCT05195593
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new 3D scanning device that aims to help surgeons match a patient's spine bones to their MRI or CT scans during surgery. The goal was to see if the scanner could accurately and consistently map the spine to improve surgical precision. Only one person took part before the study was stopped, so the results are very limited.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients that require exposure of bony posterior spine anatomy for localization as standard of care. 2. Have had a CT scan performed prior to the procedure. 3. Clinically planned for spine surgery. 4. Able to provide written informed consent from subject, using IRB approved consent form, and agrees to comply with protocol requirements. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Language problems that would prevent from properly understanding instructions. 2. Patients less than 18 years of age. 3. Requirement of an interpreter. 4. Patients who are excluded from consideration for the surgical procedure are therefore excluded from the research study. 5. Special populations: pregnant women, prisoners. 6. Minimally invasive spine surgery that does not expose the necessary bone/s. 7. Spine surgery without posterior exposure.
