    A novel wire template aids surgical planning by accurately locating masses on the scalp surface using computerized tomography (CT) scan data. This method simplifies pre-operative localization for improved surgical precision.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Medical Imaging
    • Surgical Planning

    Background:

    • Accurate pre-operative localization of intracranial masses is crucial for effective surgical intervention.
    • Traditional localization methods can be complex and time-consuming.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a simple and effective wire template technique for precise mass localization on the scalp surface.
    • To enhance the accuracy of surgical planning using computerized tomography (CT) data.

    Main Methods:

    • A wire template is applied to the patient's head during CT scanning.
    • Scan results are used to reproduce the template's position on the scalp.
    • Measurements of wire distances and mass relationships are taken.

    Main Results:

    • The wire template method allows for accurate reproduction of the scan data onto the scalp.
    • Precise localization of the mass is achieved through simple measurements.
    • This technique simplifies the process of pre-operative mass identification.

    Conclusions:

    • The described wire template technique offers a straightforward and accurate approach to scalp surface localization of intracranial masses.
    • This method can improve surgical planning and potentially patient outcomes by ensuring precise targeting.
