    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Medical Imaging
    • Surgical Technology

    Background:

    • Stereotactic surgery requires precise probe placement.
    • Intraoperative visualization is crucial for assessing therapeutic intervention results.
    • Conventional methods for probe guidance lack real-time imaging capabilities.

    Observation:

    • A novel mechanical device was developed for holding stereotactic probes during intraoperative computed tomographic (CT) imaging.
    • This device serves as a replacement for the traditional semicircular arc used in stereotactic procedures.
    • The integration of CT and stereotactic surgical sites was achieved.

    Findings:

    • The developed device facilitates intraoperative CT imaging of stereotactic probes.
    • The new system allows for immediate assessment of therapeutic intervention outcomes.
    • Intraoperative imaging was successfully performed without significant artifacts.

    Implications:

    • This advancement improves the accuracy and safety of stereotactic neurosurgical procedures.
    • It enables real-time feedback during surgery, potentially leading to better patient outcomes.
    • The technology supports the integration of advanced imaging into minimally invasive surgical techniques.
