We present a surgical guidance system that incorporates pre‐operative image information (eg,
MRI) with intraoperative ultrasound (US) imaging to detect and correct for brain tissue …

Focal cortical dysplasia is a frequent cause of medically intractable partial epilepsy. These
lesions are being increasingly identified by high quality images provided by magnetic …

Stereotactic techniques are prevalent in neurosurgery. A fundamental assumption of
stereotaxis is that the brain is a rigid body. It has been demonstrated, however, that following a …

Objective: Movements of brain tissue during neurosurgical procedures reduce the effectiveness
of using pre-operative images for intra-operative surgical guidance. In this paper, we …

A stereotactic brain biopsy system that is magnetic resonance ( MR ) imaging‐guided has not
been validated in dogs. Our purpose was to determine the mean needle placement error in …

Performing a craniotomy will cause brain tissue to shift. As a result of the craniotomy, the
accuracy of stereotactic localization techniques is reduced unless the brain shift can be …

We present a surgical guidance system that incorporates preoperative image information (eg
MRI or CT) and intraoperative ultrasound imaging to detect brain tissue deformation during …

Object. To investigate the utility of [ 15 O]H 2 O positron emission tomography (PET)
activation studies in the presurgical mapping of primary somatosensory cortex, the authors …

Tissue movement can be a significant source of error in image-guided neuro-surgery. A
surgical guidance system that incorporates preoperative image information(eg, magnetic …

Curvilinear reformatting of 3D MR imaging data sets was used to visualize the position of
subdural strip and grid electrodes relative to the underlying cerebral cortex in patients with …
