OBJECTIVE The surgical approach to lesions near eloquent areas continues to represent a
challenge for neurosurgeons, despite all of the sophisticated tools currently used. The goal …

Meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial tumor in adults and can be
associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Radiologists, neurosurgeons, neuro …

Neuroendoscopic approach to deep-brain targets imparts deformation of the ventricles and
adjacent parenchyma, limiting the accuracy of conventional neuronavigation. We report a …

This paper compares three finite element-based methods used in a physics-based non-rigid
registration approach and reports on the progress made over the last 15 years. Large brain …

Purpose Brain shift that occurs during neurosurgery disturbs the brain's anatomy. Prediction
of the brain shift is essential for accurate localisation of the surgical target. Biomechanical …

Our motivation is to enable non-biomechanical engineering specialists to use sophisticated
biomechanical models in the clinic to predict tumour resection-induced brain shift, and …

Deformable registration plays a fundamental and crucial role in scenarios such as surgical
navigation and image-assisted analysis. While deformable registration methods based on …

Converting a three-dimensional medical image into a 3D mesh that satisfies both the quality
and fidelity constraints of predictive simulations and image-guided surgical procedures …

Tumour resection requires precise planning and navigation to maximise tumour removal
while simultaneously protecting nearby healthy tissues. Neurosurgeons need to know the …

Current neurosurgical procedures utilize medical images of various modalities to enable the
precise location of tumors and critical brain structures to plan accurate brain tumor resection …
