The Virtual Operating Field – How Image Guidance can Become Integral to Microneurosurgery

  • Chapter
Samii's Essentials in Neurosurgery

Abstract

In neurosurgery, layers of soft tissue, bone, and parenchyma conceal vital structures, landmarks, and the targeted lesion. Guiding an approach to a lesion with the help of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or ultrasound images of the anatomy of a patient enables avoidance of accidental damage and the definition of a clear surgical corridor in individually uncharted territory. Today, surgical image guidance based on three-dimensional (3D) volumetric data has become part of the routine in most neurosurgical centers around the world.
