About
Dr. Zhao-Quan Liu is a pioneering spine surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the integration of advanced robotic navigation systems into spinal surgery. His most notable contribution is the development and clinical validation of the i-Navi, a two-dimensional C-arm robotic navigation platform designed to enhance precision and safety in spine procedures. In his landmark pilot study, Dr. Liu demonstrated that i-Navi significantly reduces radiation exposure and operative time while improving screw placement accuracy compared to traditional freehand techniques. This work has garnered 7 citations, establishing a foundation for further innovation in computer-assisted orthopedics. Dr. Liu’s research addresses a critical need in minimally invasive spine surgery, bridging the gap between cost-effective 2D imaging and high-fidelity 3D navigation. His findings have been presented at international spine conferences, influencing surgical protocols in hospitals across Asia. By prioritizing practical, accessible technology, Dr. Liu is helping to democratize robotic assistance in spine care, making it viable for institutions without expensive 3D systems. His ongoing work continues to explore the broader applications of i-Navi in complex spinal deformities and trauma cases.
