Optical image-guided cancer surgery: challenges and limitations.
Optical image-guided cancer surgery is a promising technique to adequately determine tumor margins by tumor-specific targeting, potentially resulting in complete resection of tumor tissue with improved survival. However, identification of the photons coming from the fluorescent contrast agent is complicated by autofluorescence, optical tissue properties, and accurate fluorescent targeting agent...
متن کاملImage-guided surgery and therapy
I am pleased to see the publication of this very novel issue. It brings together in one volume the role modern imaging has to play in surgery and radiotherapy. Certainly in functional neurosurgery imaging has transformed the way it is performed. In its first blossoming in the 1950s, patients were fixed in a stereotactic frame, contrast was injected into the ventricles and x-rays were taken of t...

Recent advances in image guided surgery are changing the manner in which surgeons are able to execute difficult procedures. By building detailed, patient-specific models of anatomy, and augmenting those models with other information, such as functional properties, the surgeon can better plan her procedure to optimally extract target tissue while avoiding nearby critical structures. By registeri...
متن کاملImage-guided robotic surgery.
Medical image processing leads to an improvement in patient care by guiding the surgical gesture. Three-dimensional models of patients that are generated from computed tomographic scans or magnetic resonance imaging allow improved surgical planning and surgical simulation that offers the opportunity for a surgeon to train the surgical gesture before performing it for real. These two preoperativ...
متن کاملImage-guided otologic surgery
Application of image-guided surgical systems to otologic surgery has been limited by the need for submillimeter accuracy via a fiducial system that is easily useable (i.e. noninvasive and nonobstructive). To overcome these limitations and demonstrate the feasibility of image-guided otologic surgery, a novel fiducial marker system was constructed which attaches to a dental biteblock and has fidu...
