yes, there are many probably well over a hundred or so articles on pedicle screw placements...

both on techniques and on exposure to physicians whom perform this.

in my opinion, this is just the sorta surgical procedure i think the DViS would be beneficial for...

go from 3d realtime fluoro to a CT view using the same machine/system... gotta love it...

in all imaging you absolutely need to have at least two images taken at 90 degrees to one another, i.e., perpendicular...

this is the only way you can observe depth and direction in relation to each picture...

ortho means straight...

orthogonal means right... as in a right angle, 90 degrees...

orthopaedics well, there you have it...

but, along comes the DViS, and you can obtain depth perception in fluoro and simply "spin" the image on the monitor if you want... by "spinning" the 3d fluoro image [on the monitor] you would uniquely be able to judge insertion... however, the CT feature would be very reassuring...
