SignificanceOrthopedic surgery is frequently performed but currently lacks consensus and availability of ideal guidance methods, resulting in high variability of outcomes. Misdirected insertion of surgical instruments can lead to weak anchorage and unreliable fixation along with risk to critical structures including the spinal cord. Current methods for surgical guidance using conventional medical imaging are indirect and time-consuming with unclear advantages.AimThe purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of intraoperative in situ near-infrared Raman spectroscopy (RS) combined with machine learning in guiding pedicular screw insertion in the spine.ApproachA portable system equipped with a hand-held RS probe was used to make fingerprint measurements on freshly excised porcine vertebrae, identifying six tissue types: bone, spinal cord, fat, cartilage, ligament, and muscle. Supervised machine learning techniques were used to train—and test on independent hold-out data subsets—a six-class model as well as two-class models engineered to distinguish bone from soft tissue. The two-class models were further tested using in vivo spectral fingerprint measurements made during intra-pedicular drilling in a porcine spine model.ResultsThe five-class model achieved >96 % accuracy in distinguish all six tissue classes when applied onto a hold-out testing data subset. The binary classifier detecting bone versus soft tissue (all soft tissue or spinal cord only) yielded 100% accuracy. When applied onto in vivo measurements performed during interpedicular drilling, the soft tissue detection models correctly detected all spinal canal breaches.ConclusionsWe provide a foundation for RS in the orthopedic surgical guidance field. It shows that RS combined with machine learning is a rapid and accurate modality capable of discriminating tissues that are typically encountered in orthopedic procedures, including pedicle screw placement. Future development of integrated RS probes and surgical instruments promises better guidance options for the orthopedic surgeon and better patient outcomes.

Significance: The diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) and focal treatment by brachytherapy are limited by the lack of precise intraoperative information to target tumors during biopsy collection and radiation seed placement. Image-guidance techniques could improve the safety and diagnostic yield of biopsy collection as well as increase the efficacy of radiotherapy.Aim: To estimate the accuracy of PCa detection using in situ Raman spectroscopy (RS) in a pilot in-human clinical study and assess biochemical differences between in vivo and ex vivo measurements.Approach: A new miniature RS fiber-optics system equipped with an electromagnetic (EM) tracker was guided by trans-rectal ultrasound-guided imaging, fused with preoperative magnetic resonance imaging to acquire 49 spectra in situ (in vivo) from 18 PCa patients. In addition, 179 spectra were acquired ex vivo in fresh prostate samples from 14 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy. Two machine-learning models were trained to discriminate cancer from normal prostate tissue from both in situ and ex vivo datasets.Results: A support vector machine (SVM) model was trained on the in situ dataset and its performance was evaluated using leave-one-patient-out cross validation from 28 normal prostate measurements and 21 in-tumor measurements. The model performed at 86% sensitivity and 72% specificity. Similarly, an SVM model was trained with the ex vivo dataset from 152 normal prostate measurements and 27 tumor measurements showing reduced cancer detection performance mostly attributable to spatial registration inaccuracies between probe measurements and histology assessment. A qualitative comparison between in situ and ex vivo measurements demonstrated a one-to-one correspondence and similar ratios between the main Raman bands (e.g., amide I-II bands, phenylalanine).Conclusions: PCa detection can be achieved using RS and machine learning models for image-guidance applications using in situ measurements during prostate biopsy procedures.
