SpineAssist, currently used by physicians at the Texas Back Institute and Texas Health Plano in Plano, Texas, is a miniature device mounted above the patient’s spine and a workstation with software allowing the surgeon to preplan the surgery using the 3D imaging technology. Physicians can position the implants within each disc on the AP, lateral and axial plane. The workstation is connected to a C-Arm.

The C-InSight is an add-on to the C-Arm, converting 2D scans to 3D images intraoperatively. This technology could replace post-operative CT scans, according to the report.
