    A new apparatus combines a neurosurgical head clamp and film changer for angiography. This device aids in obtaining serial X-ray exposures during neurosurgery with a mobile X-ray machine.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Medical Imaging
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Neurosurgical procedures often require precise patient positioning and intraoperative imaging.
    • Serial angiography is crucial for visualizing blood flow during complex neurosurgical interventions.
    • Existing setups may lack integration, requiring multiple devices and potentially increasing procedure time.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an integrated apparatus combining a neurosurgical head clamp and a film changer.
    • To facilitate operative serial angiography with enhanced efficiency and precision.
    • To provide a cost-effective solution for advanced neurosurgical imaging.

    Main Methods:

    • Designed and constructed a novel apparatus integrating a versatile neurosurgical head clamp with a compact film changer.
