Functional localization is a concept which involves the application of a sequence of
geometrical and statistical image processing operations in order to define the location of …

This paper presents a review of the state of the art of visualization in mixed reality image
guided surgery (IGS). We used the DVV (data, visualization processing, view) taxonomy to …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)-based functional neuronavigation in
surgery of cerebral gliomas with pyramidal tract (PT) involvement with respect to both …

Objective: The usefulness of neurosurgical navigation with current visualizations is seriously
compromised by brain shift, which inevitably occurs during the course of the operation …

Imaging in patients with brain tumors aims toward the determination of the localization,
extend, type, and malignancy of the tumor. Imaging is being used for primary diagnosis …

In this paper, we outline a way to improve computer-assisted neurosurgery using surgical
models along with patient-specific models built from multimodal images. We propose a …

Mixed reality visualizations are increasingly studied for use in image guided surgery (IGS)
systems, yet few mixed reality systems have been introduced for daily use into the operating …

For a non-invasive identification of eloquent brain areas in neurosurgical procedures up to
now only preoperative functional brain mapping techniques are available. These are based …

Neuronavigation has become an effective therapeutic modality and is used routinely for intra-
axial tumor removal. This retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the clinical impact …

The aim of our study was to establish the effectiveness of the functional MRI (fMRI)
technique in comparison with intraoperative cortical stimulation (ICS) in planning cortex …
