2
X-Rays Fluoroscopy Computed
Topography (CT) Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI)
3
Electrodes accelerate towards the cathode, where atomic interactions occur to create 2 types of photons
99% of electron interactions result in no use, only heat is produced
4
Much more fun to say than other interaction types
Incident electrons interact with the nucleus of the anode atom (Coulomb's law)
5
Occur as the result of electron-electron interactions between incident electrons and those of the anode
6
Orbital Carbon (Z=6)
Barium (Z = 56)
Tungsten ( Z=74)
K 0.3 37 69 L 0.1 6 12 M 1.3 2.8 N 0.3 0.6 O 0.04 0.08

In general, photons above 20keV are desired for an X-ray beam
Energies lower wont penetrate the skin, and may result in undesirable radiation effects
Lower energies are filtered using “Half-Value layers “

Scattering
13
An imaging technique to visualize organs during motion
Uses x-rays, and is essentially a “live x-ray video”
Helpful with barium x-rays and cardiac catheterization
14
Barium x-rays primarily used for diagnosing abnormalities of the GI tract
Barium sulfate is a metallic chemical that x-rays cannot pass through
Cardiac catheterization allows physician to see the flow of blood to detect arterial blockage
15
X-raying a patient and using geometry to construct a “3D” image
Uses Radon Transform to compute geometry
16
17
The human body is largely composed of water and fat, more specifically 63% hydrogen atoms
Protons, electrons, and neutrons possess a fundamental property called magnetic spin
18
Without an applied magnetic field, the atoms are all rotating at random
When a magnetic field is applied, the hydrogen atoms align themselves parallel or anti-parallel to the main magnetic field
A 90 degree RF pulse is applied, causing them to orient into xy-plane from z-axis (in direction of magnetic field)
A 180 degree pulse is then applied to get them to dephase
19
Signal is collected as protons relax back to the z-axis
T1(spin lattice relaxation time) is the time to reduce the difference between longitudinal magnetization along the z-axis, and the equilibrium value by a factor of e.
T2 (spin-spin relaxation time) is the time to reduce the transverse magnetization by a factor of e
Relaxations occur simultaneously and amount of time you wait to collect signal determines the image you get

23
MRI able to determine soft tissue, while CT is better for bones
MRI can image in any plane, including axial, sagittal and coronal
CT can only do axial No ionizing radiation,
such as x-rays, is used
24
25
Image-guided surgery(IGS) a general term used for any procedure in which a surgeon employs tools that can be tracked using various imaging techniques
This type of technology is used to allow for safer surgery with less invasive techniques
IGS employs the use of numerous imaging techniques, for the purpose of this presentation X-Rays, CT scans and MRI imaging will be the focus
26
Optical Tracking Electromagnetic
Tracking Tracking Accuracy
27
28
2 Main Approaches :
Optical
Electromagnetic
29
Active Tracking ◦ Markers on tool emit infrared signal which is picked up by
sensor which calculates position and orientation of tool
Passive Tracking ◦ Tool has retro-reflective markers adhered to it that reflect
infrared light back to sensor which calculates position and orientation of tool
30
31
Coils are placed within a variable magnetic field. Depending on proximity and orientation relative to this field there is an induced voltage within these sensing coils
32

35
Spinal IGS ◦ CT ◦ C-arm Fluoroscopy ◦ 3D C-arm
Fluoroscopy Sinus IGS ◦ CT Based ◦ Intraoperative MRI
36
37
Prior to surgery, a CT scan of relevant spinal levels is obtained
Data is transferred to computer workstation and reconstructed in 3D
Spine surgically exposed and DRA attached to vertebra
Registration of operative anatomy and image anatomy through “Paired Point Registration”
38
39
A Spinal image-guidance system consists of Electro-optical camera array Surgical reference system (DRA) Customized spinal instruments
LEDs attached to DRA and instruments, and tracked by electro-optical camera array
Optical tracking digitizer directs camera firing and capture of LEDs, and measures 3D position of LEDs
40
C-arm fluoroscopy is combined with computer-aided surgical technology to enhance advantages and minimize disadvantages
Fluoroscopic images taken while surgeons stand away from operative field to significantly reduce radiation exposure
The system saves the multiple projections and is moved away from operative field once done
41
Drawbacks C-arm
fluoroscopy only able to provide a single planar anatomical position at one time
Occupational radiation exposure still present unlike in CT
42
43
Isocentric C-arm is able to rotate around patient while maintaining spinal anatomy in centre
Can effectively function as a CT scanner Advantages
Image acquisition takes around 2 min No more navigation inaccuracy between
preoperative CT data and intraoperative position
Anatomical registration not necessary No need for preoperative CT scan Postoperative scan can be performed to
ensure accuracy
44
45
46
Best suited for 3D intraoperative imaging of bones and joints of extremities, entire spine, hip, and maxillofacial applications
Requires only 30-60 seconds for a complete scan
Can combine preoperative CT or MRI images with intraoperative 3D data
47
48
49
Although it is a low risk surgery, proximity to important structures as well as anatomical anomalies may lead to complications:
◦ Bleeding ◦ CSF Leak ◦ Loss of Vision
50
Treatment Sinusitis Removal of Pituitary Tumor Septoplasty (Fixing Nasal Septum) Inferior turbinate submucosal resection
51
52
53
Intraoperative Fluoroscopy is more effective for bones
Preoperative MRI and CT scans can be different from the intraoperative anatomy
“Brain Shift” Intraoperative MRI helps with soft tissue surgery
such as brain tumour removal
54
Prior to undergoing surgery, a patient undergoes a CT/MRI scan which produces a series of images of the effected area
These images are then converted to 3D images showing all relevant details
This 3D map is then synchronized with real time information inputted from cameras within the operating room
If desired, these views are also coupled with an endoscopic camera and displayed on a screen
55
Robotic Surgery ◦ Da Vinci Surgical
System
56
57
Robotic Surgery eliminates need for some personnel in a surgery
Doctor operates on patient from a computer console
Telesurgery possible Major drawback is latency
Minimally invasive with less pain, trauma, and bleeding Leads to faster recovery
