Good Samaritan University Hospital Introduces Advanced 3D Imaging Technology for Spine Surgery

Catholic Health’s Good Samaritan University Hospital recently introduced a new state-of-the-art 3D imaging system that is transforming spine surgery on Long Island. The innovative system integrates advanced imaging technology with cutting-edge navigation tools that map the spine and track surgical instruments throughout procedures, providing surgeons with immediate, high-resolution 3D images of the spine to allow for real-time adjustments.

This capability will help streamline and simplify complex spine cases by increasing access to minimally invasive surgical approaches, which typically result in smaller incisions, reduced disruption to surrounding tissue and faster recovery times for patients.

“The introduction of advanced intraoperative 3D imaging technology represents a significant step forward in how we deliver care to our patients,” said Justin Lundbye, MD, MBA, president of Good Samaritan University Hospital. “By equipping our surgical teams with real-time visualization and enhanced precision, we are improving safety, supporting minimally invasive techniques and ultimately delivering better outcomes to our community.”

Good Samaritan University Hospital recently debuted the imaging technology to perform a minimally invasive spinal fusion targeting the lower back, led by orthopedic surgeon Daniel Choi, MD.

The addition of this technology further underscores Good Samaritan University Hospital’s commitment to advancing surgical care through constant innovation and continued investment in cutting-edge technology and techniques that empower physicians and improve patient outcomes.
