Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Geometry

Background:

  • Stereotactic radiosurgery for arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) requires precise 3-D anatomical information.
  • Current imaging techniques may have limitations in accurately delineating AVM geometry in stereotactic space.
  • Accurate AVM visualization is crucial for effective treatment planning and delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and describe a mathematical solution for reconstructing 3-D objects from non-perpendicular 2-D angiographic projections.
  • To improve the accuracy of AVM nidus geometric description for stereotactic radiosurgery planning.
  • To enable stereotactically accurate projection of AVM surface volume models onto CT and MRI scans.

Main Methods:

  • A mathematical solution utilizing 6 known marker coordinates within a stereotactic frame.
