Modern neurosurgery necessitates effective intraoperative image navigation techniques. In
the last decade, intraoperative ultrasonography (iUS), a relatively inexpensive procedure …

Experience with the use of Intaoperative Ultrasound (US) imaging as real time navigation
system in neurosurgery is presented and discussed. Since 1987 we have performed US …

BACKGROUND Intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) is becoming more and more adopted in
neurosurgery, since it has been associated to greater extent of resection (EOR) and to gross …

The major shortcoming of image-guided navigation systems is the use of presurgically
acquired image data, which does not account for intra-operative changes such as brain shift …

BACKGROUND: Image-based navigational techniques have been used increasingly in
neurosurgery to improve intraoperative precision. These techniques, however, have the …

Abstract Study Aims: The purpose of this study was the integration of three-dimensional
ultrasound data into a neuronavigation system, in order to allow a guided intraoperative …

Neuronavigation has become an established technology which provides objective data for
localization in 3D space and thus decreases uncertainties regarding tumor localization …

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

BACKGROUND: Intraoperative US has been widely used in neurosurgical procedures.
However, images are often difficult to read. In the present study, we evaluate whether the …

Purpose The aim of this report is to present IBIS (Interactive Brain Imaging System)
NeuroNav, a new prototype neuronavigation system that has been developed in our …
