Purpose: Neuronavigation based on preoperative imaging data is a ubiquitous tool for
image guidance in neurosurgery. However, it is rendered unreliable when brain shift …

Intraoperative brain shift during neurosurgical procedures is a well‐known phenomenon
caused by gravity, tissue manipulation, tumor size, loss of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and use …

The present invention relates to a system and apparatus for implementing a method for
identifying tube parameters of a curved tube of an active cannula for operating on a target in …

Objective: During breast conserving surgery (BCS), magnetic resonance (MR) images
aligned to accurately display intraoperative lesion locations can offer improved …

With the recent advances in computing, the opportunities to translate computational models
to more integrated roles in patient treatment are expanding at an exciting rate. One area of …

Objective Recently, in modern neurosurgery, a tendency toward low-traumatic surgical
approaches has become clear. To provide a minimal degree of injury to the brain tissue, we …

Augmented Reality (AR) holds the potential to revolutionize surgical procedures by allowing
surgeons to visualize critical structures within the patient's body. This is achieved through …

Brain shift during tumor resection compromises the spatial validity of registered preoperative
imaging data that is critical to image-guided procedures. One current clinical solution to …

Purpose Tissue compression during ultrasound imaging leads to error in the location and
geometry of subsurface targets during soft tissue interventions. We present a novel …

Synthetic models (phantoms) of the brain-skull system are useful tools for the study of
surgical events that are otherwise difficult to study directly in humans. To date, very few …
