Image-guided surgery is currently considered to be of undisputed value in microsurgical and endoscopical neurosurgery, but one of its major drawbacks is the degradation of accuracy during frameless stereotactic neuronavigation due to brain and/or lesion shift. A computed tomography (CT) scanner syst
Computed tomography (CT) images in combination with a navigation device enable three-dimensional (3-D) localization of intracranial lesions. Furthermore, CT scanning can be adapted for intraoperative application to actualize the image data and to check the anatomical situation during the operation.
Functional MRI (fMRI) methods have been demonstrated to noninvasively identify motor-sensory, visual, and other areas of eloquent cortex for guiding surgical intervention. Typically, fMRI data are acquired preoperatively during a conventional surgical planning MRI examination. Unlike direct cortical
Surgery of lesions within the central region requires exact intraoperative anatomical orientation and knowledge of the position of functional cortical regions to minimize the surgical trauma and to avoid postoperative neurological deficits. We combined somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) phase rev
