    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Medical Imaging
    • Artificial Intelligence

    Background:

    • Preoperative planning for extracerebral tumors is complex, often relying on manual image processing.
    • Existing methods may lack the precision and efficiency needed for optimal surgical guidance.
    • Advanced visualization techniques are crucial for improving surgical outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate an open-source, AI-assisted 3D color multimodal image fusion (MIF) system integrated with augmented reality (AR) for extracerebral tumor surgery.
    • To compare the efficacy of AI-assisted 3D color MIF with traditional manual monochrome MIF in surgical planning and guidance.
    • To assess the impact of the novel AI-MIF-AR system on surgical parameters, clinical outcomes, and technical performance.

    Main Methods:

    extracerebral tumors
    open-source artificial intelligence
    • A prospective trial involving 130 patients with extracerebral tumors was conducted.
    • A novel workflow combined FastSurfer (AI brain parcellation) and Raidionics-Slicer (deep learning tumor segmentation) with Sina AR projection.
    • Comparative analysis between AI-assisted 3D-color MIF (Group A) and manual-3D-monochrome MIF (Group B) evaluated surgical, clinical, and technical metrics.

    Main Results:

    • The AI-3D-color MIF system demonstrated significantly faster and more accurate brain segmentation (1.21 min, DSC 0.978, 95% HD 1.51 mm) compared to manual methods (4.51 min, DSC 0.932, 95% HD 3.52 mm).
    • Group A showed significant improvements: shorter operative time, reduced blood loss, higher gross-total resection rates, fewer complications, and better postoperative modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores (all p < 0.05).
    • Technical performance metrics confirmed the superiority of the AI-assisted approach in accuracy and speed.

    Conclusions:

    • Open-source AI tools integrated with AR visualization provide an efficient 3D-color MIF workflow for neurosurgery.
    • The system enhances anatomical understanding through color-coded functional mapping and vascular visualization, improving surgical precision.
    • This cost-effective solution reduces perioperative risks and is suitable for advanced neurosurgical planning, even in resource-constrained settings.
