A photoacoustics-enhanced drilling probe for radiation-free pedicle screw implantation in spinal surgery

This article proposes a novel intra-operative navigation and sensing system that optimizes the functional accuracy of spinal pedicle screw implantation. It does so by incorporating radiation-free and multi-scale macroscopic 3D ultrasound (US) imaging and local tissue-awareness from in situ photoacou...
