Brain retraction correction improves image-guided neurosurgery accuracy. This study introduces a biomechanical model using XFEM and laser scanning to compensate for brain distortion during surgery, enhancing real-time imaging precision.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Biomechanics

Background:

  • Brain retraction in surgery causes significant image distortion, compromising the accuracy of image-guided neurosurgery systems.
  • Accurate intraoperative brain retraction correction is crucial for improving surgical outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel framework for real-time brain retraction correction in image-guided neurosurgery.
  • To enhance the morphological alignment and accuracy of preoperative images during intraoperative procedures.

Main Methods:

  • A linear elastic biomechanical model utilizing the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) was employed for brain retraction correction.
  • A laser range scanner captured surface point clouds of the surgical field, and a surface tracking algorithm converted these into boundary conditions for XFEM.

  • Brain phantom experiments were conducted to evaluate morphological alignment using modified Hausdorff distance and bead displacement accuracy.

    • Main Results:

    • The modified Hausdorff distance between pre-retraction and post-retraction images decreased from 1.10 to 0.76 mm, indicating improved morphological alignment.
    • The forecast error for bead displacements ranged from 0 to 1.73 mm (mean 1.19 mm), demonstrating good numerical performance.
    • The overall correction accuracy achieved was between 52.8% and 100% (mean 81.4%).

    Conclusions:

    • The developed framework effectively compensates for brain retraction distortion during surgery.
    • Brain retraction compensation can be seamlessly integrated into the model-updating process of intraoperative image-guided neurosurgery systems.
