Updating neuronavigation systems with intraoperative MR imaging corrects for brain shift during surgery. This improves accuracy and enables complete tumor removal in challenging brain tumor cases.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Image-Guided Therapy

Background:

  • Brain shift, caused by tumor removal and fluid changes, reduces the accuracy of standard neuronavigation systems.
  • Neuronavigation systems rely on preoperative images, which become outdated during surgery due to brain shift.
  • Intraoperative imaging provides real-time anatomical data to counteract brain shift effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of updating neuronavigation systems with intraoperative MR imaging.
  • To assess the impact of intraoperative MR imaging on surgical accuracy and tumor resection.
  • To determine if this method can improve outcomes for brain tumor patients.

Main Methods:

  • Intraoperative 3D MR imaging was performed on 16 brain tumor patients.

  • The acquired MR data were transferred to a microscope-based neuronavigation system.
  • Bone fiducial markers were used for intraoperative registration to update the neuronavigation system.

    • Main Results:

    • Updating the neuronavigation system with intraoperative MR data was successful in all patients.
    • The mean registration error for the update procedure was 1.1 mm, ensuring high accuracy.
    • Complete tumor removal was achieved in 14 patients, with the method aiding resection of residual tumor areas.
    • The update procedure added approximately 15 minutes to the total operation time.

    Conclusions:

    • Updating neuronavigation systems with intraoperative MR images effectively compensates for brain shift.
    • This technique reliably improves surgical accuracy and facilitates complete resection of difficult brain tumors.
