    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Medical Imaging
    • Computational Anatomy

    Background:

    • Atlas-based statistical models are used for brain shift prediction, accounting for intraoperative uncertainties.
    • Existing models often overlook local brain deformation caused by surgical retractors.
    • Accurately localizing retractors during surgery is challenging due to their dynamic positioning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel technique for predicting brain shift that integrates the effects of surgical retraction.
    • To enhance the accuracy of intraoperative brain shift prediction by accounting for localized deformations.
    • To combine the benefits of atlas-based uncertainty accounting with real-time retractor effect modeling.

    Main Methods:

    • A new method computes retractor-induced brain deformation in real-time using an active model solve.

  • The computed retractor deformation is linearly superimposed onto a precomputed deformation atlas.
  • The integrated approach leverages an atlas-based framework while incorporating retraction effects with minimal computational cost.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed method demonstrated improved average brain shift correction, increasing from 50% with gravity atlas alone to 80% with the active solve retraction component.
    • The range of shift correction improved significantly, from 14-81% to 73-85% when including the retraction component.
    • Simulations and phantom experiments validated the effectiveness of the integrated approach.

    Conclusions:

    • This paper presents a novel and simple method to integrate surgical retraction into atlas-based brain shift computation.
    • The new technique enhances the accuracy of brain shift prediction by accounting for retractor-induced deformations.
    • The approach offers a practical solution for improving surgical navigation accuracy in the presence of brain shift and retraction.
