Advanced MSK Interventions (2022)-R6-CIR10-2022

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The talk explores the potential of interventional radiology (IR) and robotics in spine-related medical procedures, particularly focusing on screw fixation and minimally invasive techniques. The speaker emphasizes leveraging advanced imaging and technical skills of IR to meet and exceed the standards of traditional surgery. By selecting the right patients, understanding equipment, and setting realistic expectations, IR can offer unique solutions like screw fixation that counteract stress in ways that cement alone cannot. Imaging technologies, like CT and fluoroscopy, are crucial in planning procedures such as placing screws for stabilization and addressing ISIS defects. The innovative approach involves using robotics and advanced imaging for accurate and minimally invasive interventions. The use of robotics allows for precision in placing screws and accessing challenging anatomical positions. However, this field requires careful patient selection and understanding of biomechanics for effective application. With recent advancements, techniques like combining screw fixation with procedures like biopsies and ablations are becoming more feasible, enhancing outcomes in oncology interventions. The talk also discusses the integration of mixed reality and AI, showing promise for future applications in education and simulation for complex procedures, potentially reducing radiation exposure and improving accuracy in surgical interventions.
