Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Mechanics

Background:

  • Brain shift during neurosurgery alters anatomy, complicating surgical target localization.
  • Accurate prediction of intra-operative brain deformations is crucial for successful neurosurgical outcomes.
  • Biomechanical models offer a potential solution for predicting these deformations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an automated framework for predicting intra-operative brain deformations.
  • To integrate biomechanical modeling into a streamlined workflow for neurosurgical applications.

Main Methods:

  • A novel framework combining a meshless total Lagrangian explicit dynamics (MTLED) algorithm with open-source software (3D Slicer).
  • Generation of patient-specific biomechanical brain models from pre-operative MRI.
  • Computation of brain deformation using MTLED and output of predicted intra-operative MRI.

Main Results:

  • The framework successfully predicted intra-operative deformations in nine patients across craniotomy, tumor resection, and electrode placement scenarios.
  • Model construction averaged 3 minutes, with deformation computation ranging from 13-23 minutes.
  • Quantitative evaluation showed ~95% of ventricle surface nodes within two times the in-plane resolution for craniotomy and tumor resection cases.

Conclusions:

  • The developed framework enables broader application of biomechanical modeling in both research and clinical neurosurgery.
  • Successful prediction of intra-operative deformations in nine patients validates the framework's utility.
