Intraoperative alignment assessment system and method
Some embodiments provide systems, assemblies, and methods of analyzing patient anatomy including providing an analysis of a patient's spine. The systems, assemblies, and/or methods can include obtaining initial patient data, and acquiring spinal alignment contour information. Further, the systems, assemblies, and/or methods can assess localized anatomical features of the patient, and obtain anatomical region data. The system, assemblies, and/or method can analyze the localized anatomy and therapeutic device location and contouring. Further, the system, assemblies, and/or method can output localized anatomical analyses and therapeutic device contouring data and/or imagery on a display.
1. A system comprising:
at least one dynamic reference frame, the at least one dynamic reference frame (DRF) configured so that any fixed or mobile portion of the DRF, or any assembly or component coupled to the DRF can be registered in 3D space using a plurality of trackable markers, the plurality of trackable markers including at least one moveable or triggerable marker;
at least one user-actuation trigger or actuator coupled to the at least one moveable or triggerable marker, the at least one user-actuation trigger or actuator configured and arranged to trigger or actuate the at least one moveable or triggerable marker;
at least one 3D tracking camera or imaging system configured to track one or more of the plurality of trackable markers; and
a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to track one or more 3D coordinates of one or more of the plurality of trackable markers.
