Hear Dr. Elmi-Terander experience’s with ClarifEye for spinal deformity open procedures in a Hybrid OR.
Learn how Dr. Scarone is using ClarifEye for minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusions in a hybrid OR
Advanced imaging and surgical navigation in a hybrid OR for complex spine procedures
ClarifEye is an industry-first solution that combines imaging and augmented reality (AR) navigation into one system.
Four high-resolution cameras in the C-arm Flat Detector (A) automatically detect the non-invasive patient markers (B) to augment the surgical field. The live video images provided by the cameras are overlaid on 3D cone-beam CT (C) The systems visualizes the tip of the ClarifEye Needle as it is navigated along the planned path on the spinal anatomy (D).

Clinical accuracy
Augmented reality navigation with intraoperative 3D imaging vs fluoroscopy-assisted free-hand surgery for spine fixation surgery
94% Navigated vs 89.6% Freehand improvement in clinical accuracy of pedicle screw placement > Elmi-Terander at el, Augmented reality navigation with intraoperative 3D imaging vs fluoroscopy-assisted free-hand surgery for spine fixation surgery, a matched-control study, Nature Sci. rep. 2020 Jan 20;10(1):707.
Pedicle Screw Placement Using Augmented Reality Surgical Navigation With Intraoperative 3D Imaging
An overall accuracy of 94.1% of primarily thoracic pedicle screws was achieved. > Adrian Elmi-Terander, at el, Pedicle Screw Placement Using Augmented Reality Surgical Navigation With Intraoperative 3D Imaging, First In-Human Prospective Cohort Study, SPINE Volume 44, Number 7, Nov 2018.
Screw insertion in the thoracic and lumbar spine with a new tracking device
The overall accuracy of ARSN was 94% compared with an accuracy of 88% for fluoroscopy > Simon Peh, at el, Accuracy of augmented reality surgical navigation for minimally invasive pedicle screw insertion in the thoracic and lumbar spine with a new tracking device, Cadaveric laboratory study, The spine journal, Volume 20, ISSUE 4, P629-637, Apr 01, 2020.
Surgical workflow
Spine Surgery in a Hybrid Operating Room: Design, Workflow, and Clinical Applications
Navigated interventions were performed with a median total time of 379 min per procedure (range 232-548 min for 4-24 implanted pedicle screws). > Erik Edström, at. el, A Novel Augmented-Reality-Based Surgical Navigation System for Spine Surgery in a Hybrid Operating Room: Design, Workflow, and Clinical Applications Operative Neurosurgery, Oper Neurosurg (Hagerstown). 2020 May 1;18(5):496-502.
Machine learning for automated 3D segmentation of the spine and suggested placement of pedicle screws
The clinically relevant pedicle identification and automatic pedicle screw planning accuracy was 95,4%. The mean time (± SD) for automatic segmentation and screw planning in 5 vertebrae was 11 ± 4 seconds. > Gustave Burström, at el, Machine learning for automated 3-dimensional segmentation of the spine and suggested placement of pedicle screws based on intraoperative cone-beam computer tomography, J Neurosurg Spine. 2019 Mar 22;31(1):147-154.
Radiation exposure
Radiation dose and image quality comparison during spine surgery with two different, intraoperative 3D imaging navigation systems
Up to 3.7 times higher contrast-to noise-ratio and up to 83% lower X-ray dose compared to mobile Cone-beam CT. > Rami Nachabe, at. el, Radiation dose and image quality comparison during spine surgery with two different, intraoperative 3D imaging navigation systems, J Appl Clin Med Phys. 2019 Feb;20(2):136-145.
Augmented Reality Surgical Navigation in Spine Surgery to Minimize Staff Radiation Exposure
When compared to existing literature, ClarifEye substantially lowers the staff radiation dose, without concomitantly increasing patient radiation exposure. This is achieved by > Erik Edström. at el, Augmented Reality Surgical Navigation in Spine Surgery to Minimize Staff Radiation Exposure., Prospective observational study, SPINE: Jan 1, 2020 - Volume 45 - Issue 1 - p E45-E53.
