Abstract

In neurosurgery, layers of soft tissue, bone, and parenchyma conceal vital structures, landmarks, and the targeted lesion. Guiding an approach to a lesion with the help of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or ultrasound images of the anatomy of a patient enables avoidance of accidental damage and the definition of a clear surgical corridor in individually uncharted territory. Today, surgical image guidance based on three-dimensional volumetric data has become part of the routine in most neurosurgical centres around the world.
