Summary

This study shows that a mobile 3D C-arm fluoroscopy can accurately verify stereotactic trajectories and targets during surgery. This method is feasible, comparable to MRI/CT, and does not increase surgical time or radiation exposure.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Intraoperative localization of stereotactic probes is challenging.
  • Current methods like stereotactic X-ray, MRI, and CT require dedicated operating rooms.
  • Mobile 3D C-arm fluoroscopy offers a potential alternative for verifying trajectories.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility of using a 3D C-arm fluoroscopy system for intraoperative verification of stereotactic trajectories and targets.
  • To evaluate the accuracy and efficiency of this novel approach.

Main Methods:

  • Analyzed 12 stereotactic trajectories (8 biopsies, 4 electrode) in 10 patients.
  • Acquired 3D fluoroscopic image sets during C-arm rotation after probe/needle placement.
  • Reconstructed and merged images with preoperative CT scans to assess accuracy.

Main Results:

  • Mean trajectory deviation was 0.6 mm (±0.54 mm).
  • Mean vector error was 1.44 mm (±1.43 mm).
  • No significant impact on surgical time or irradiation dosage.

Conclusions:

  • 3D C-arm fluoroscopy is a feasible method for verifying stereotactic targets and trajectories.
  • Accuracy is comparable to MRI and CT.
  • Offers comparable irradiation to stereotactic X-ray without additional time consumption.
