The use of intraoperative three-dimensional imaging (ISO-C-3D) in fixation of intraarticular fractures

Assessment of two 3-D fluoroscopic systems for articular fracture reduction: a cadaver study

“…These images are transferred to the work station that provides real-time multiplanar images of axial, sagittal, and coronal reformats. The reader may refer to previous studies describing this modality [6,9,11].…”

“…These devices enable intra-operative CT scan-like imaging, producing axial, sagittal and coronal reformatted images, albeit of an inferior image quality [6]. Early reports of 3D fluoroscopes for the assessment of articular fracture reduction are encouraging [7][8][9].…”

Towards Multiple 3D Bone Surface Identification and Reconstruction Using Few 2D X-Ray Images for Intraoperative Applications

“…(Atesok, Finkelstein et al 2007;Ritter, Orman et al 2007;Zbijewski and Stayman 2007). However, to reconstruct at a reasonable resolution, the number of 2D images required is very high, e.g.…”

Radiation exposure during 3D fluoroscopy of the knee: an experimental study

“…With new improvements in imaging technology, portable intraoperative 3D fluoroscopy has been available. It has been found to be more effective and provide more details and information than a conventional C-arm image intensifier [1][2][3][4][5].…”

“…Previous studies have shown promising outcomes in the use of 3D fluoroscopy to assist many procedures of orthopaedic surgery, such as osteosynthesis of the complex anatomies (acetabulum, tibial plateau, calcaneus and talus), spinal instrumentations, deformity correction and percutaneous procedures [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. In order to generate a group of 3D images, a number of scans need to be taken along the arc of motion of the C-arm.…”
