Navigation accuracy and assessability of carbon fiber-reinforced PEEK instrumentation with multimodal intraoperative imaging in spinal oncology

Abstract Radiolucent carbon-fiber reinforced PEEK (CFRP) implants have helped improve oncological follow-up and radiation therapy. Here, we investigated the performance of 3D intraoperative imaging and navigation systems for instrumentation and precision assessment of CFRP pedicle screws across the...
