Background: Neurosurgeons regularly plan their surgery using magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) images, which may show a clear distinction between the area to be resected and the …

Abstract WE HAVE USED three-dimensional reconstruction magnetic resonance imaging
techniques to understand the anatomic complexity of operative brain lesions and to improve …

In the last decade, the clinical applications of three-dimensional (3D) printed models, in the
neurosurgery field among others, have expanded widely based on several technical …

This work presented in this thesis was performed at the Montreal Neurologicallnstitule (MNI).
directed by Drs Alan Evans and Terry Peters. Herein are addressed two problems common …

In the past, clinicians skilled at image-guided neurosurgery have relied solely on pre-
operative scans for their navigational information. Often in the course of surgery, tissue is …

BACKGROUND: Precise lesion localization is necessary for neurosurgical procedures not
only during the operative approach, but also during the preoperative planning phase …

OBJECTIVE: We describe the development and implementation of a new open configuration
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, with which neurosurgical procedures can be …

Objective Resection of gliomas invading primary motor cortex and subcortical motor
pathway is difficult in both surgical decision-making and functional outcome prediction. In …

During the past decades, medical applications of virtual reality technology have been
developing rapidly, ranging from a research curiosity to a commercially and clinically …

BACKGROUND: During surgery for intrinsic brain lesions, it is important to distinguish the
pathological gyrus from the surrounding normal sulci and gyri. This task is usually tedious …
