Image-Guided Surgery for Meningiomas

  • Chapter
Meningiomas

The primary surgical goals of neuro-oncology are to target and remove lesions while leaving functional brain tissue and vasculature intact, in order to preserve neurologic function (1). The attainment of these goals requires a clear three-dimensional (3-D) understanding and conceptualization of brain and tumor anatomy on the surgeon's part. Significant challenges for planning and actual surgery in oncology are the distortion, envelopment, invasion, and obscuration of normal and pathologic structures by the tumor. Stereotactic image-guidance techniques aim to assist the surgeon by virtually linking imaging data and in vivo anatomy. They allow the surgeon to transpose 3-D spatial information from diagnostic images onto the live anatomy of the patient, thus providing interactive 3-D localization and orientation (2,3).
