This study introduces a computational model to estimate brain tissue deformation during surgery, aiding stereotactic neurosurgery. The physics-based approach aims for cost-effective, accessible methods for tracking subsurface tissue motion.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Mechanics

Background:

  • Stereotactic neurosurgery relies on accurate image guidance, but intraoperative brain tissue movement poses a significant challenge.
  • Current methods for tracking tissue motion, such as intraoperative CT/MR, are costly and not widely available.
  • Developing more accessible and cost-effective methods to account for brain shift is crucial for surgical accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a computational model for estimating subsurface brain tissue deformation during surgery.
  • To explore a physics-based framework for updating preoperative imaging data in real-time.
  • To assess the feasibility of a cost-effective approach for intraoperative brain shift estimation.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a finite element model (FEM) for brain tissue deformation, adapted from consolidation theory.
