    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Medical Physics
    • Surgical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Current mechanically clutched cranial perforators have performance limitations in craniotomy.
    • These limitations can pose risks of severe brain injury to patients.
    • An additional safety mechanism is needed to mitigate these risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) as a real-time bone-brain boundary detection system.
    • To develop and test a drill control system incorporating DRS for enhanced surgical safety.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized Monte Carlo simulations of a two-layer bone-brain model at 530 and 850 nm.
    • Developed an experimental drill control system guided by simulated optical properties.
    • Tested the system on 10 sheep craniums for bone-brain boundary detection.

    Main Results:

    • Simulations showed a detectable change in diffuse reflectance signal near the bone-brain boundary.
    • The experimental system achieved an 88.1% success rate in detecting the approaching bone-brain boundary.
    • Demonstrated the feasibility of DRS for intraoperative guidance.

    Conclusions:

    • Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy shows promise as a fallback safety mechanism for craniotomy.
    • The developed system can provide near real-time detection of the bone-brain interface.
    • This technology has the potential to improve patient safety during neurosurgical procedures.
