    • Development of stereotactic software for 3D data transformation and surgical simulation.
    • Intraoperative real-time monitoring of surgical instruments using the integrated system.

    Main Results:

    • The system enables rapid data acquisition and retrieval.
    • Accurate calculation of target coordinates and lesion volume reconstruction.
    • Interactive monitoring and superimposition of multiple data sources during surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed stereotactic software system enhances surgical planning and execution.
    • It provides surgeons with a convenient tool for navigating complex neurosurgical procedures.
    • The system offers significant benefits to patient care through improved accuracy and efficiency.
