A new stereotactic computer graphic system integrates brain maps with CT/NMR images for surgical planning and navigation. This system aids in identifying targets, calculating trajectories, and monitoring instruments during procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Computer-Aided Surgery

Background:

  • Stereotactic surgery requires precise localization of targets within the brain.
  • Integration of imaging data with surgical planning tools is crucial for accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a personal computer-based stereotactic computer graphic system with brain maps.
  • To enhance surgical precision through advanced image processing and real-time monitoring.

Main Methods:

  • Development of firmware for digitizing radiological films.
  • Software for matching brain maps with CT/NMR images.
  • Hardware for system operation and data management.

Main Results:

  • The system can recognize frame points, calculate targets, volumes, and surgical instrument trajectories.
