The emergence and development of computerized image processing and three-dimensional spatial localizers have radically improved accuracy of detection of the disease site. This text offers an appraisal of the entire range of surgical guidance systems currently available to the neurosurgeon.
Interactive Image Guided Neurosurgery is a comprehensive book which studies the impact of computerized image processing and three-dimensional special localizers on the accurate localization of intracranial pathology.
Topics covered in Interactive Image Guided Neurosurgery include:
-Stereotactic frame systems and intraoperative localization devices
-Image registration based on discrete anatomic structures
-Image-based frameless stereotactic radiosurgery
-The role of computers and medical imaging in stereotactic neurosurgery
-The Neuronavigator: A potentiometer-based localization arm system
-Intraoperative computed tomographic localization
-Intraoperative microendoscopy
-And much more
