Pre-Operative Planning of Brain Tumor Resections

چکیده
We present our concepts for pre-operative planning of brain tumor resections. The proposed system uses a combination of traditional and novel visualization techniques in order to support the surgeon during the planning process. A set of multimodal 2D and 3D views conveys the relation between the lesion and the various structures at risk and also depicts data uncertainty. To facilitate efficient interactions while providing a comprehensible visualization, all views are linked. Furthermore, the system allows the surgeon to interactively define the access path by clicking in the 3D views as well as to perform distance measurements in 2D and 3D.

Interactive Visualization Techniques for Neurosurgery Planning
We present concepts for pre-operative planning of brain tumor resections. The proposed system uses a combination of traditional and novel visualization techniques rendered in real-time on modern GPUs in order to support neurosurgeons during intervention planning. A set of multimodal 2D and 3D renderings conveys the relation between the lesion and the various structures at risk and also depicts ...
متن کاملInteractive Visualization of Fused fMRI and DTI for Planning Brain Tumor Resections
The surgical removal of brain tumors can lead to functional impairment. Therefore it is crucial to minimize the damage to important functional areas during surgery. These areas can be mapped before surgery by using functional MRI. However, functional impairment is not only caused by damage to these areas themselves. It is also caused by damage to the fiber bundles that connect these areas with ...
متن کاملVirtual Liver Surgery Planning: Simulation of Resections (print-version)
In liver surgery, tumor resection is often the only curative treatment for patients suffering from liver cancer. A detailed planning must precede the actual intervention, because information about liver shape, tumor location, and the arrangement of the vascular structure is required. In addition, quantitative assessment of volumes and distances plays an important role in pre-operative planning....
متن کاملSwivel and Roll! - A new dance for the modern Thoracic Surgeon
Background/Introduction In comparison to open surgery, VATS lung resections are technically challenging operations as the operative field is transformed from a three dimensional multiangle wide view to a two dimensional screen. Therefore careful pre-operative and intra-operative planning is required to complete the procedure safely and successfully. All our patients undergo a Computed Tomograph...
متن کاملBlood transfusion requirements for endoscopic sinonasal inverted papilloma resections
BACKGROUND Endoscopic resection of sinonasal Inverted Papilloma (SNIP) tumors has been shown to reduce intra-operative blood loss and recovery time compared to open approaches. The purpose of this study is to investigate the incidence and requirements of blood transfusion for endoscopic SNIP surgeries. METHODS An individual retrospective cohort study of endoscopic SNIP surgeries over a 10-yea...
