Brain, being a soft tissue, deforms dynamically during neurosurgery. Maximum displacement of 50mm at the end of tumour resection surgery (6-7 hours) has been observed in some studies. This phenomenon of intra-operative brain tissue deformation is called brain shift. Currently available non-invasive...
