Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Robotics

Background:

  • Neurosurgical biopsies require high precision for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
  • Existing stereotactic methods can be limited by real-time feedback and brain shift.
  • Intraoperative imaging like MRI offers potential for improved guidance but requires advanced techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a remotely controlled stereotactic system using prospective MRI guidance for neurosurgery.
  • To enhance targeting accuracy and efficiency in in vivo brain lesion biopsies.
  • To overcome limitations of current methods, particularly brain shift, during neurosurgical procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a remotely controlled operation scheme with prospective magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based stereotaxy.

  • Utilizing tomographical imaging feedback (MRI/CT) for near real-time (1 image/s) biopsy needle targeting.
  • Employing 2D image feedback perpendicular to the trajectory for precise alignment and remote needle insertion.
  • Validation of post-alignment trajectory using orthogonal MRI views before needle insertion.

    • Main Results:

    • Demonstrated improved tissue yield in MR-guided brain lesion biopsies due to enhanced targeting accuracy.
    • Successfully compensated for brain shift, maintaining precision in targeting.
    • Achieved a mean targeting error of 1.53 +/- 0.17 mm at a depth of 85 mm.
    • Confirmed feasibility and efficiency of the remotely controlled approach in a clinical MR scanner.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed remotely controlled, MRI-guided stereotactic system is feasible and effective for neurobiopsies.
    • This method offers improved targeting accuracy and tissue yield, even with brain shift.
    • Provides a comfortable and efficient workflow for neurosurgeons using routine clinical MRI scanners.
    • Represents a valuable alternative stereotactic procedure leveraging prospective guidance from modern imaging systems.
