Intraoperative Registration of 2D C-arm Images with Preoperative CT Data in Computer Assisted Spine Surgery: Motivation to Use Convolutional Neural Networks for Initial Pose Generator

In this paper, we present an approach for getting an initial pose to use in a 2D/3D registration process for computer-assisted spine surgery. This is an iterative process that requires an initial pose close to the actual final pose. When using a proper initial pose, we get registrations within two m...
