Image-based pedicle screw positioning
A framework for pedicle screw positioning is described herein. In accordance with one aspect, the framework segments at least one vertebra of interest in image data. The framework then automatically determines a pedicle region within the segmented vertebra of interest, and a safe region within the segmented vertebra of interest. An optimal insertion path passing through the pedicle region may then be generated within the safe region.
