Summary: Image-guided systems are crucial in improving diagnostic and therapeutic outcomes, providing anatomical information, reducing complications, and increasing accuracy and safety. Image-to-patient registration is the first step, and in the head-and-neck region, millimetric precision is required due to sensitive structures. Marker-based methods are considered the gold standard, while surface-based methods are recommended for faster procedures. Computer vision technology is expected to enhance these systems in the future.

Summary: The study describes the evolution of thoracoscopic spine surgery from basic endoscopic procedures to the current technology that merges endoscopy and image-guided surgery with intraoperative CT scanning. The authors provided detailed explanations of their surgical techniques, showing the benefits of integrating thoracoscopic spine surgery with advanced imaging techniques. There were no patients with worsened neurological function, and the results suggest further refinements of this technique may be possible with advancements in machine learning, robotics, and artificial intelligence.

Summary: A surgical navigation system is important for surgeons to understand anatomical structures during surgery. In this study, a compensation method using a database was proposed to reduce registration error in laparoscopic surgery navigation. The method involved analyzing positional information and averaging difference matrices computed from fiducial markers. The results demonstrated that the proposed method significantly decreased target registration error and improved the accuracy of laparoscopic surgery navigation.

Summary: This study proposes a reconstruction-based 3D/2D registration method for spine surgery navigation. The method utilizes a segmentation network and a multi-scale pose estimation module to establish dimensional correspondence and estimate the pose parameters in 3D space. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves considerable improvement in registration performance compared to other methods.

Summary: We propose and evaluate a 3D-2D image registration method for fluoroscopic overlay in pulmonary interventions, which addresses the challenges of deformable motion and tissue deformation. The method utilizes a multi-resolution/multi-scale framework with an objective function that emphasizes soft-tissue image gradients. Experimental results demonstrate robust performance in the presence of real tissue deformation and a broad range of 3D-2D image mismatch.

Summary: This paper presents an automatic method for registering pre-operative MRI with intra-operative 3D-US for knee arthroscopy. The proposed method achieves global geometric initialization using automatically segmented structures from both modalities, followed by registration in distance space and final local refinement using the LC2 metric. The algorithm shows good registration performance in the experiments.

Summary: This study aims to develop a model that weighs the cost and clinical benefits of a typical 3D navigation platform to determine the number of cases required to justify its purchase. The study found that most US healthcare facilities cannot justify the cost of 3D navigation at current reimbursement levels, highlighting the need for greater pricing flexibility.
