Overview

Pilot study identifies fluoroscopic biomarkers in lumbar vertebrae, suggesting tailored approaches for interventions.

Key Points

  • This pilot study aims to identify fluoroscopic biomarkers for optimal cannula placement in lumbar medial branch radiofrequency neurotomy.
  • Photographed and reconstructed lumbar vertebrae and sacra in 3D
  • Simulated fluoroscopic imaging using custom code in Blender3D
  • Virtual cannulae placed for angle classification and biomarker identification
  • Conducted morphometric analysis correlating 3D models with fluoroscopic images
  • 72% of simulated cannula placements were classified as parasagittal
  • 82% of parasagittal placements showed the identified fluoroscopic biomarker
  • 30% of traditional placements had the fluoroscopic biomarker
