“If you show to the patients that with a 3D model of the spine you have a guide to help you put that screw exactly where it supposed to be and avoid the dangerous things that are nearby … I think that they’re gonna really pick this themselves because they’re gonna see how much safer it is.”
Brian B. Nielsen, MD
