N2 - This paper presents an algorithm to automatically extract 3D feature points of a vertebrae model. These feature points aim at enhancing the safety of transpedicular drill guide (TDG) in posterior spinal fusion. The design parameters of the drill, including insertion position, angle, and depth, are generated to construct the drill template based on a spinal 3D structure database. An intelligent 3D model construction, design, and verification software system is expected for future orthopaedics spinal surgery and rehabilitation applications. This system can be commercialized and promoted to global healthcare systems.
