Objectives: To compare 2D CT alone with 2D + 3D reconstruction for pre-operative planning of implant placement.
Methods: Spiral CT scans of 33 consecutive patients were used for both reformatted 2D and 3D computer-assisted planning. The number, site and size of implants and the occurrence of anatomical complications during planning and implant placement were statistically compared using the percentage agreement and the Kendall's correlation coefficients (tau). Although planning was performed in 33 patients, implants were only placed in 21 patients. In 11 patients surgery was based on 2D + 3D imaging and in ten patients on 2D planning.
Results: Agreement between planning and placement of implants was highly significant for the implant sites selected. For 2D based planning and placement, agreement reached 68% (tau = 0.94). For 2D + 3D based planning and placement, agreement attained 73% (tau = 0.89). For planning and placement of implant size based on 2D images, agreement was 31% and not significant (tau = 0.23). When based on 2D + 3D images, agreement for implant size was 44% (tau = 0.5). Agreement was not significant for anatomical complications: 69% for 2D planning and 71% for 2D + 3D planning (tau = 0.24 for 2D and tau = 0.21 for 2D + 3D).
Conclusions: The 3D planning system is a reliable tool for pre-operative assessment of implant placement. Both 2D and 2D + 3D planning have a good predictability for the number and site of the implants but less so for anatomical complications. However, the 2D + 3D planning provides a better pre-operative assessment of implant size.

Background And Objectives: A typical workflow for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery consists of head frame placement, followed by stereotactic computed tomography (CT) or MRI before surgical implantation of the hardware. At some institutions, this workflow is prolonged when the imaging scanner is located far away from the operating room, thereby increasing workflow times by the addition of transport times. Recently, the intraoperative O-arm has been shown to provide accurate image fusion with preoperative CT or MR imaging, suggesting the possibility of obtaining an intraoperative localization scan and postoperative confirmation.

Introduction: Sacroiliac luxation is a common traumatic feline injury, with the small size of the sacral body being a challenge for surgical stabilization. This study compared an innovative computer-guided drilling method with the conventional fluoroscopy-controlled freehand technique. Neuronavigation, using CT-based planning and real-time tracking, was evaluated against the freehand method for accuracy and time efficiency.

Introduction: Since the development of pedicle screw fixation in the spine, safe placement has remained a crucial component in maximizing patient outcomes and mitigating pedicle screw-related complications. The purpose of this study is to investigate the utility of pedicle tapping in identifying pedicle breaches.
Methods: A pediatric spine surgery database was queried to identify a consecutive series of patients who underwent spinal deformity surgery utilizing pedicle screw fixation between May 2019 and October 2022.

Systematic conservation planning (SCP) involves the cost-effective placement and application of management actions to achieve biodiversity conservation objectives. Given the political momentum for greater global nature protection, restoration, and improved management of natural resources articulated in the targets of the Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing the state-of-the-art of SCP is timely. Recent advances in SCP include faster and more exact algorithms and software, inclusion of ecosystem services and multiple facets of biodiversity (e.

The Strait of Sicily, a vital marine passage with diverse fauna, is seeing a steep rise in the planning of offshore wind farm projects. This study assesses the acoustic impact of these wind farms on local marine species. Underwater propagation was modeled for three proposed floating wind farms using JASCO's Marine Operations Noise Model (MONM), which integrates a parabolic equation method for frequencies from 10 to 800 Hz and a beam-tracing model for 1 to 25 kHz.
