Abstract: Obtaining intraoperative images of the spine in the obese patient and at the cervicothoracic junction have historically been technically difficult due to variable penetration and x-ray scatter. This is particularly true for spinal deformity cases,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/hp.0000000000001679
Abstract: Abstract The use of intraoperative fluoroscopy in surgery produces scattered radiation that can expose all operating room personnel to measurable and, in some cases, substantial radiation doses. The goal of this work is to assess… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ans.16610
Abstract: Post‐operative imaging aims to assess fracture reduction and fixation with better resolution than intraoperative fluoroscopy (IF). However, this routine practice may increase costs and delay the discharge of patients. The aim of this study is… read more here.
