Building on its proven foundation in operating rooms across the country, SyncAR Spine transforms traditional imaging into a dynamic surgical roadmap, fully integrated with Medtronic StealthStation™ navigation. The platform incorporates AI-driven vertebra segmentation to streamline planning, Advanced Decompression Planning (ADP) to pre-map resections before surgery, and Segmental Fusion to keep preoperative models aligned with intraoperative CT scans even as patient positioning changes. Surgeons can track bone removal in real time with voxel-level drill tracking and, for the first time, bring MRI data, including nerves, vessels, and pathology into the OR, giving minimally invasive procedures the clarity once limited to open surgeries.
Dr. Greg Poulter, a world-renowned spine surgeon at OrthoIndy and the first to perform a SyncAR Spine case with the newly cleared next-generation platform, emphasized its impact: He emphasized its impact: “SyncAR Spine gives me the visibility of open surgery in a minimally invasive case. Having MRI data live in the OR, aligned seamlessly with navigation, is the greatest improvement in navigation since its inception nearly 2 decades ago. I can plan every detail in advance and then see that plan projected in real time during surgery, fully aligned with my workflow. That level of clarity changes how we operate.”
