Development of a Quantitative Method to Evaluate Pedicle Screw Loosening After Spinal Instrumentation Using Digital Tomosynthesis
2021-09-01
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> In general, the diagnosis of pedicle screw (PS) loosening is evaluated qualitatively based on the presence of a radiolucent area around the implant wider than 1 mm on plain radiographs and computed tomography (CT). Digital tomosynthesis is a novel imaging technology that can acquire reconstructed tomographic images of patients in different postures with relatively low radiation. In this study...
