Table 5: Comparative scheme between the different spinal navigation systems.

Method

Navigation by TC

Fluoro iso-C 3D

Fluoro 2D-TC

Image

3D high quality bone anatomy.

3D, limited to a volume of 120 mm3, limited to obese.

2D, limited to obese.

Preoperative

Required CT

High-resolution reconstruction.

Does not require preoperative images.

Does not require preoperative images.

Intraoperative

Manual registration. It does not correct errors.

Automatic registration, correct errors.

Multiple images, automatic registration, long surgical time.

Postoperative

CT may be necessary.

Not necessary CT.

CT may be necessary.

In this scheme we observe the different navigation systems for the fixation of the column according to the method and obtaining radiological images with fluoro 2D-CT, fluoro iso C-3D, and navigation by, being the differences in accuracy between them insignificant.
