Real-time monitoring for brain tissue deformation during surgery

As conventional open surgical techniques are fast being replaced with recent advanced techniques that are either minimally invasive or completely non-invasive, the development in Image-Guided NeuroSurgery (IGNS) has played a pivotal function in minimizing invasive neurosurgery. However, inIGNS a maj...

Description
Summary:As conventional open surgical techniques are fast being replaced with recent advanced techniques that are either minimally invasive or completely non-invasive, the development in Image-Guided NeuroSurgery (IGNS) has played a pivotal function in minimizing invasive neurosurgery. However, inIGNS a major source of concern is error due to brain tissue dislocation and deformation during neurosurgical standard operating procedures (SOP).
