About
Dr. Mary Mullally is a leading researcher in image-guided spinal surgery, with a focused expertise in the integration of preoperative planning and intraoperative imaging for enhanced surgical precision. Her major contribution lies in developing and validating elastic image fusion software that coregisters preoperatively planned pedicle screws with intraoperative computed tomography (CT) data, a critical innovation for complex spinal cases, particularly those involving robotic guidance. This work, detailed in her 2021 paper "Elastic Image Fusion Software to Coregister Preoperatively Planned Pedicle Screws With Intraoperative Computed Tomography Data for Image-Guided Spinal Surgery," addresses the fundamental challenge of transferring precise screw trajectories from a preoperative plan to the intraoperative environment, where changes in anatomic alignment can compromise accuracy. With 7 citations, this foundational study has already influenced the field of computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery. Dr. Mullally’s research is essential reading for students and surgeons interested in the intersection of robotics, imaging, and spinal instrumentation, as it directly improves the safety and reliability of screw placement in complex deformity and revision cases.
