OBJECTIVEAugmented reality (AR) is a novel technology that has the potential to increase the technical feasibility, accuracy, and safety of conventional manual and robotic computer-navigated pedicle insertion methods. Visual data are directly projected to the operator’s retina and overlaid onto the surgical field, thereby removing the requirement to shift attention to a remote display. The objective of this study was to assess the comparative accuracy of AR-assisted pedicle screw insertion in comparison to conventional pedicle screw insertion methods.METHODSFive cadaveric male torsos were instrumented bilaterally from T6 to L5 for a total of 120 inserted pedicle screws. Postprocedural CT scans were obtained, and screw insertion accuracy was graded by 2 independent neuroradiologists using both the Gertzbein scale (GS) and a combination of that scale and the Heary classification, referred to in this paper as the Heary-Gertzbein scale (HGS). Non-inferiority analysis was performed, comparing the accuracy to freehand, manual computer-navigated, and robotics-assisted computer-navigated insertion accuracy rates reported in the literature. User experience analysis was conducted via a user experience questionnaire filled out by operators after the procedures.RESULTSThe overall screw placement accuracy achieved with the AR system was 96.7% based on the HGS and 94.6% based on the GS. Insertion accuracy was non-inferior to accuracy reported for manual computer-navigated pedicle insertion based on both the GS and the HGS scores. When compared to accuracy reported for robotics-assisted computer-navigated insertion, accuracy achieved with the AR system was found to be non-inferior when assessed with the GS, but superior when assessed with the HGS. Last, accuracy results achieved with the AR system were found to be superior to results obtained with freehand insertion based on both the HGS and the GS scores. Accuracy results were not found to be inferior in any comparison. User experience analysis yielded “excellent” usability classification.CONCLUSIONSAR-assisted pedicle screw insertion is a technically feasible and accurate insertion method.

Because fine needles can easily be deflected, accurate needle insertion is often difficult. Lower abdominal insertion is particularly difficult because of less imaging feedback; thus, an approach for allowing a straight insertion path by minimizing deflection is beneficial in cases of lower abdominal insertion. Although insertion with axial rotation can minimize deflection, the rotational insertion may cause tissue damage. Therefore, we established a novel insertion method for minimizing both deflection and tissue damage by combining rotation and vibration. Using layered tissues, we evaluated the effect of a combination of rotation and vibration in terms of deflection and tissue damage, which were measured by the insertion force and torque, and the area of the hole created by the needle using histological tissue sections to measure tissue damage. The experimental results demonstrated that insertion with unidirectional rotation is risky in terms of tissue wind-up, while insertion with bidirectional rotation can decrease deflection and avoid wind-up. We also found that insertion with vibration can decrease the insertion force and torque. Therefore, insertion with a combination of bidirectional rotation and vibration can minimize needle deflection and tissue damage, including the insertion force and torque and the hole area.

The internet network is growing rapidly and has a great impact on human life. The development of the internet network has enabled many people to exchange information or messages,one of tham by using email media. Apparently the internet is a path that in ni not too safe because it is a common communication media that can be used by everyone so prone to tapping information or messages. Therefore, security and confidentiality are needed in data communications. One may to keep messages safe is to use steganography technique. The steganography method used is the method of message insertion using BPCS (Bit Plane Complexity Segmentation). Before the message is inserted, the message is first encrypted using cryptography techniques. The cryptographic algorithm used is RSA algorithm. RSA algorithm consists of encryption algorithm and decryption algorithm. The confidential message is encrypted using RSA encryption algorithm and inserted using the insertion method of BPCS. With the technique of steganography on the image media then the delivery of a secret message will have a good level of security because it can not be detected directly by the senses of human vision. Keywords: cryptography, steganography, RSA, method BPCS   Abstrak Jaringan internet berkembang dengan pesat dan memberikan pengaruh besar bagi kehidupan manusia. Perkembangan jaringan Internet telah memungkinkan banyak orang untuk saling bertukar informasi atau pesan salah satunya dengan media email. Ternyata, internet merupakan jalur yang tidak terlalu aman karna merupakan media komunikasi umum yang dapat digunakan semua orang sehingga rawan penyadapan informasi atau pesan. Oleh karena itu, keamanan dan kerahasiaan sangat dibutuhkan dalam komunikasi data. Salah satu cara untuk menjaga keamanan pesan adalah menggunakan teknik steganografi. Metode steganografi yang digunakan adalah metode penyisipan pesan, dengan menggunakan metode BPCS (Bit Plane Complexity Segmentation). Sebelum pesan disisipkan terlebih dahulu pesan tersebut dienkripsi dengan menggunakan teknik kriptografi. Algoritma kriptografi yang digunakan adalah algoritma RSA. Algoritma RSA terdiri dari algoritma enkripsi dan algoritma dekripsi. Pesan rahasia disandikan menggunakan algoritma enkripsi RSA dan disisipkan menggunakan metode penyisipan BPCS. Dengan adanya teknik steganografi pada media citra maka pengiriman suatu pesan yang bersifat rahasia akan memiliki tingkat keamanan yang baik karena tidak dapat dideteksi langsung oleh indera penglihatan manusia. Keywords: Kriptografi, Steganogari, RSA, Metode BPCS
