✓ The development of a unique neurosurgical navigator is described and a preliminary
series of seven cases of intracerebral lesions approached with the assistance of this …

A prototype ultrasound-integrated neuronavigation system was tested in 34 operations as
regards image quality, stability, and handling during daily use in the operating theatre. The …

Approximately four decades after the successful clinical introduction of framebased
stereotactic neurosurgery by Spiegel and Wycis, frameless stereotaxy emerged to enable …

Image-guided neurosurgery using navigation systems is an essential tool to increase
accuracy in brain tumor surgery. However, brain shift during surgery has remained …

OBJECTIVE: We have developed a frameless stereotactic neuronavigation system that
allows navigation during neurosurgical procedures through an image formed from …

OBJECTIVE: Three-dimensional (3-D) ultrasound is an intraoperative imaging modality used
in neuronavigation as an alternative to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This article …

OBJECTIVE: The BrainLab VectorVision neuronavigation system was used in 131 cases of
different brain pathological conditions. The neuronavigation system was used without …

OBJECTIVE: We have integrated a neuronavigation system into an ultrasound scanner and
developed a single-rack system that enables the surgeon to perform frameless and armless …

A new computed tomographic-stereotactic device that translates the operating point onto
preoperative computed tomographic (CT) images, the Neuronavigator, has been developed …

We have investigated the 3D navigation accuracy of a frameless ultrasound-based
neuronavigation system (SonoWand®) for surgical planning and intraoperative image …
