Integrating an intraoperative computed tomography (CT) scanner with neuronavigation significantly improves accuracy in image-guided surgery by addressing brain shift. This closed-system approach saves substantial time and enhances patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Surgical Navigation

Background:

  • Frameless stereotactic neuronavigation accuracy degrades due to brain and/or lesion shift.
  • Image-guided surgery is crucial in neurosurgery but faces accuracy challenges.
  • Existing neuronavigation systems are susceptible to intraoperative anatomical changes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the advantages of integrating an intraoperative computed tomography (CT) scanner with a neuronavigation system.
  • To provide an integrated solution for improved accuracy in image-guided neurosurgery.
  • To assess the impact of intraoperative imaging on surgical workflow and patient outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of a Philips Tomoscan M CT scanner with the Philips EasyGuide neuronavigation system.

  • Evaluation in 20 neurosurgical cases (15 microsurgical, 5 endoscopic).
  • Utilized a specially developed scanner table and radiolucent head fixation for high-quality intraoperative imaging.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful integration of the intraoperative CT scanner in all procedures.
    • Significantly improved accuracy in image-guided surgery (1.6:1.22.2).
    • Demonstrated time savings of approximately 55 hours per operating room over 6 months.
    • Enabled intraoperative identification of residual tumor in ~20% of cases.
    • Effectively compensated for intraoperative brain and/or tumor shifts.

    Conclusions:

    • The combination of intraoperative CT and neuronavigation offers an integrated solution to improve accuracy and efficiency in image-guided neurosurgery.
    • This closed-system approach enhances workflow, reduces treatment time, and improves clinical outcomes.
    • Intraoperative imaging provides critical updates, enabling precise tumor resection and quality checks.
