Clinical factors affecting the accuracy of a CT‐based active infrared navigation system

Computer‐assisted navigation technology has been widely used during spine surgery; however, the desired accuracy cannot be easily obtained and sustained. Our goal was to determine whether and how clinical factors affect the accuracy of a CT‐based active infrared navigation system.
