Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Surgical Navigation

Background:

  • Current cranial surgical navigation relies on fiducial markers, optic tracking, and pointer-based methods.
  • These standard techniques can be cumbersome and interrupt the surgical workflow.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the accuracy and applicability of an advanced cranial navigation system.
  • To compare the performance of continuous electromagnetic navigation with standard methods.

Main Methods:

  • Continuous electromagnetic instrument navigation was implemented in 136 neurosurgical cases.
  • Accuracy was assessed using a phantom head in an intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) environment.
  • Comparison was made between the advanced setup (electromagnetic tracking, surface-based registration) and standard setup (optic tracking, fiducial markers).

Main Results:

  • The advanced system was used in various procedures, including intracranial tumor surgery and endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery.
  • No significant difference in accuracy was found between the advanced and standard navigation setups at intracranial target points outside the iMRI's 5-G line.
  • A learning curve of approximately 6 cases was observed during the initial month of application.

Conclusions:

  • Continuous instrument navigation is essential for integrating navigation systems into the neurosurgical operating workflow.
  • The advanced setup, utilizing preoperative imaging, surface-merge registration, and electromagnetic tracking, integrates seamlessly.
  • This advanced approach maintains accuracy comparable to standard navigation methods.
