SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A SPINAL ANATOMY REGISTRATION FRAMEWORK

Absstract of: WO2026174314A1

Systems and methods are disclosed for automated C-arm guidance that convert image-level understanding into actionable gantry positioning. A keypoint detector trained on rotation-frame-aligned data identifies anatomical keypoints used to compute a gantry pose satisfying geometric view primitives. From an intra-operative fluoroscopic image and associated calibration data, a diffusion model determines three-dimensional geometry, seeds an archetype search, and emits error bounds that trigger intermediate fluoroscopic images when thresholds are exceeded. When no pre-operative three-dimensional imaging is available, population-based models refined by patient input parameters constrain geometry. A six-degree-of-freedom user interface renders sliders and proximity indicators using a sensor stack to converge on the computed pose. Non-rigid keypoint analysis with Random Sample Consensus detects discontinuities, while alignment characteristics derived from vertebra and orthopedic standardized rotation frames provide spinopelvic metrics and distal-to-distal relationships.
