Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Robotics

Background:

  • Traditional frame-based stereotactic systems have limitations including long procedure times, patient discomfort, and targeting inaccuracies due to brain shift.
  • Pre-operative MRI or CT scans are often used, but do not account for intra-operative changes.
  • Interventional MRI environments offer potential to address these shortcomings by integrating imaging and intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel stereotactic system for use within an interventional MRI suite.
  • To assess the accuracy and feasibility of performing stereotactic procedures in a real-time MRI environment.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a skull-mounted mechanical positioning device integrated with custom navigation software.

  • Testing the system's accuracy using a skull phantom within an interventional MRI scanner.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed stereotactic system achieved a mean targeting accuracy of 0.70 mm +/- 0.3 mm.
    • The maximum deviation between planned and achieved target coordinates was 1.3 mm.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed stereotactic system demonstrates high accuracy and is suitable for stereotactic procedures within an interventional MRI.
    • This approach has the potential to enhance precision and safety in neurosurgery by overcoming limitations of conventional methods.
