Abstract: A spinal implant system includes a spinal implant template configured to provide three dimensional coordinates of a selected implant configuration. An implant bending device includes work surfaces engageable with a spinal implant to manipulate the spinal implant to the selected implant configuration and an implant contact sensor. Surgical instruments, spinal constructs, implants and methods are disclosed.

Abstract: A display may display a region of an anatomy that is not within the field of effect of an instrument. The additional views may assist in determining a location and orientation of an instrument. The instrument may be tracked with a tracking system to make the determination of image data to display.

Abstract: An example method includes, determining, based on data received from a plurality of sensors that are each attached to a respective finger of a plurality of fingers of a hand of a patient, data that represents movements of one or more fingers of the plurality of fingers; and determining, based on the data that represents the movements of the one or more fingers, one or more objective indications of motor control of the patient.

Abstract: A tracking system can be used to track a plurality of tracking devices. A representation of at least two instruments may be displayed relative to image data. The representation is customizable to distinguish between the at least two instruments.

Abstract: A system and apparatus is disclosed to automatically determine the identification and selected information relating to instruments. The identification information may be read or determined by various reader systems and then transferred for various purposes. The identification information may be stored on the instrument with a storage system or printing and/or recalled from a memory once the identification is made.

Abstract: A method of detecting a vertebral endplate rim according to embodiments of the present disclosure includes receiving, at a processor, a binary mask of a vertebra; applying a Laplacian filter to the binary mask to yield a processed image; identifying, in the processed image, a set of edges having a sharpness that exceeds a predetermined threshold; deformably registering a template to a plurality of points corresponding to at least some of the edges in the set of edges; excluding some of the plurality of points based on at least one predetermined criterion; and generating additional points by interpolating among a remaining subset of the plurality of points to yield a set of points defining an endplate rim of the vertebra.

Abstract: A re-registration method includes receiving a first image depicting a reference frame attached to a patient and oriented in a first pose relative to the patient, the first image obtained by an imaging device mounted to a movable support that has been locked in a selected pose; receiving a second image depicting the reference frame oriented in a second pose relative to the patient, the second image obtained by the imaging device with the movable support locked in the selected pose; and updating a registration between the reference frame and the patient to reflect that the reference frame has been moved from the first pose to the second pose.

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring one or more anatomical elements are provided. An image depicting one or more anatomical elements and a plurality of annotations may be received. The image may comprise a plurality of image elements. Each annotation may correspond to one of the one or more anatomical elements and may be associated with one of the plurality of image elements. Movement information about movement of at least a portion of a particular anatomical element may be received. Image elements corresponding to the particular anatomical element may be identified to yield a set of image elements. The set of image elements may be adjusted based on the movement information to yield an updated image reflecting changes to affected anatomical elements.

Abstract: Systems and methods for correcting experienced EM fields measured at each of one or more EM trackers of an EM tracking system as such measurements are influenced by a known distorter are disclosed herein. An EM emitter may transmit an EM field such that it contains the one or more EM trackers. The system then determines a pose of a distorter within the EM field. The system receives, from each EM tracker, data representing experienced EM fields as distorted by a distortion field caused by the distorter. The system proceeds to determine the distortion field using the pose and a model comprising one or more characteristics of the distorter. The system may first optimize the model. The system calculates data representing corresponding corrected experienced EM fields based on each respective experienced EM field and the determined distortion field at the same location.

Abstract: An example method includes, determining, based on data received from a plurality of sensors that are each attached to a respective finger of a plurality of fingers of a hand of a patient, data that represents movements of one or more fingers of the plurality of fingers; and determining, based on the data that represents the movements of the one or more fingers, one or more objective indications of motor control of the patient.

Abstract: A segmental tracking method includes receiving first image data corresponding to a surgical site comprising at least one anatomical object, the first image data generated using a first imaging modality; receiving second image data corresponding to the surgical site, the second image data generating using a second imaging modality different than the first imaging modality; correlating a representation of the at least one anatomical object in the second image data to a representation of the at least one anatomical object in the first image data; and updating a digital model of the at least one anatomical object based on the correlation.
