The AIRO(®) system is an easy-to-use and versatile iCT for navigated spinal instrumentation and provides high pedicle screw accuracy rates. Meticulous design Thanks to its thoughtful design, experience effortless flexibility in patient positioning, battery powered system maneuvering and seamless O.R. Analysis of screw placement accuracy revealed 9 (5.3%) screws with minor pedicle breaches (2 mm, resulting in an accuracy rate of 95.9%. Loop-X reduces scanner interaction, ensuring an optimized, time-saving workflow and giving surgeons imaging freedom and control in the O.R. A systematic description of the authors' approach, setup in the OR and workflow integration of the AIRO(®) is presented. CT data on screw placement accuracy were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed by an independent observer.ĪIRO(®)-based spinal navigation was easy to implement and successfully accomplished in all patients, adding around 18-34 min to the net surgery time. Following navigated screw insertion, screw positions were confirmed intraoperatively by a second iCT scan. The indications for AIRO(®) were based on the surgical region, anatomical complexity and the need for >3 segment instrumentation.

Against this background, we report the first experience of navigated spinal instrumentation with the mobile AIRO(®) intraoperative computed tomography (iCT) scanner.ĪIRO(®) iCT was used for navigated posterior spinal instrumentation of 170 screws in 23 consecutive patients operated on in our Department between the first use of the system in May 2014 and August 2014. Airo Mobile CT CT bore size Electrical requirements107cm Generator power Phase30kw (120kV, 250mA) Detector size Voltage32 slice Slice thickness 1.0mm FOV 51.2cm Scan mode Axial, helical Helical scan time 40sec/m Image quality Reconstruction matrix 512 x 512 Low contrast detectability 3mm at 0. Recently, we used a portable intraoperative CT (iCT) scanner, Airo (Brainlab AG.

Current solutions for navigated spine surgery remain hampered by restrictions in surgical workflow as well as a limited versatility and applicability. Airo iCT MIS-TLIF can be used for initial planning of the skin incision.
