With the advent of Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), intra-operative imaging has become
crucial for surgery and therapy guidance, allowing to partially compensate for the lack of …

Background External ventricular drain (EVD) placement is a frequently performed
neurosurgical procedure. Inaccuracies in drain positioning and the need for multiple passes …

Endovascular neurosurgery is a discipline strongly dependent on imaging. Therefore,
technology that improves how much useful information we can garner from a single image …

Introduction The Apollo system (Penumbra Inc, Alameda, California, USA) is a low profile
irrigation–aspiration system designed for the evacuation of intracranial hemorrhage …

OBJECTIVE: Accurate image guidance is an essential component of percutaneous
procedures in the head and neck. The combination of preprocedural magnetic resonance …

Objective Catheter malpositioning is one of the most frequent causes of ventriculoperitoneal
shunt dysfunction and revision surgery. Most intraoperative tools used to improve the …

Evidence is growing to support minimally invasive surgical evacuation of intraparenchymal
hematomas, particularly those with minimal residual hematoma volumes following …

Purpose Flat-detector CT can be integrated with C-arm fluoroscopy for CT-guided
neurosurgical and endovascular procedures. We studied the accuracy of this technique with …

Purpose Fluoroscopic systems in modern interventional suites have the ability to perform flat
panel detector CT (FDCT) with navigational guidance. Fusion with MR allows navigational …

Objectives: Variability exists with the use of neuro-navigation in the placement of Ommaya
reservoir. In the setting of recent healthcare reforms in the United States that are focused on …
