Original Abstract Submitted
An image-guided robotic spine injection system includes an injection robot registered to an interoperative imaging system for real-time guidance. The system includes a guidance system to communicate with said injection robot and said interoperative imaging system during an injection procedure. The guidance system includes a preoperative injection plan based on preoperative imaging data of a subject's spine, and includes anatomical features identified as preoperative registration markers. The guidance system receives interoperative imaging data from said interoperative imaging system of said subject's spine. The guidance system receives an indication of anatomical features identified as interoperative registration markers that correspond in a one-to-one relationship to each of said preoperative registration markers. The guidance system registers said interoperative registration markers with said preoperative registration markers to transform said preoperative injection plan to an interoperative injection plan. The guidance system provides instructions to said injection robot to perform autonomous injections into said subject's spine.
