Before starting surgery for the resection of an intracranial tumor, its outlines are typically marked on skin patient. This allows planning optimal incision, craniotomy, and angle approach. Conventionally, surgeon determines tumor borders using neuronavigation with a tracked pointer. However, interpretation errors can lead to important deviations, especially deep-seated tumors, potentially resulting in suboptimal approach incomplete exposure. Augmented reality (AR) displaying critical...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: External ventricular drain (EVD) placement is often performed freehand, a technique subpar to accurate yet impractical image-guided methods, yielding optimal in only 70%. The aim of this study was address shortcomings EVD and image guidance technologies by implementing high-accuracy augmented reality (AR) guidance. METHODS: We conducted prospective clinical pilot assess feasibility, safety, performance using standalone AR headset equipped with inside-out infrared...
Abstract Introduction The effectiveness of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) as pain‐relieving treatment for failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) has already been demonstrated. However, potential structural and functional brain alterations resulting from subsensory SCS are less clear. aim this study was to test volumetric changes in a priori chosen regions interest related chronic pain after 1 month 3 months high‐frequency patients with FBSS. Methods Eleven FBSS who were scheduled device...
