    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method for determining spinal instability, more particularly, a method for quantifying the type and extent of spinal instability in a standardized way. The disclosure also describes a method comprising measurement of the intervertebral rotation and intervertebral translation between a vertebrae pair using simple images, and from these measurements, determining if one or more vertebrae pair of the spine is unstable. Finally, the disclosure describes software that may be used to quantify the type and extent of spinal instability.

    Abstract: Systems, methods and a sensor alignment mechanism are disclosed for medical navigational guidance systems. In one example, a system to make sterile a non-sterile optical sensor for use in navigational guidance during surgery includes a sterile drape having an optically transparent window to drape the optical sensor in a sterile barrier and a sensor alignment mechanism. The alignment mechanism secures the sensor through the drape in alignment with the window without breaching the sterile barrier and facilitates adjustment of the orientation of the optical sensor. The optical sensor may be aligned to view a surgical site when the alignment mechanism, assembled with the sterile drape and optical sensor, is attached to a bone. The alignment mechanism may be a lockable ball joint and facilitate orientation of the sensor in at least two degrees of freedom. A quick connect mechanism may couple the alignment mechanism to the bone.

    Abstract: A system and method for automatic detection of potential focal cortical dysplasias through magnetic resonance imaging. The method includes acquiring image data of a subject brain at a first resolution, analyzing the acquired image data to determine a thickness of cerebral gray matter, and matching the left cerebral hemisphere to the right cerebral hemisphere based on corresponding geometric features of the hemispheres. The method also includes generating a difference map comparing corresponding thicknesses of the hemispheres, identifying regions of abnormal differences in thickness as potential regions containing focal cortical dysplasias, and acquiring image data of the regions of abnormal differences in thickness at a second resolution. The method further includes generating images of the regions of abnormal differences in thickness from the acquired image data and displaying the images.
