Three-dimensional computed tomography in the diagnosis of vertebral column pathological conditions.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Neuronavigation has become an intrinsic part of preoperative surgical planning and surgical procedures. However, many surgeons have the impression that accuracy decreases during surgery. OBJECTIVE:To quantify the decrease of neuronavigation accuracy and identify possible origins, we performed a retrospectiv...
