Use of Surgical Wands in Neurosurgery

  • Chapter
Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery

Part of the book series: Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery ((NEUROSURGERY,volume 24))

Abstract

Recent technological developments in neuroimaging and surgical techniques, including the use of interactive image-guided surgical procedures, have opened new frontiers in neurosurgery. Advances in imaging techniques have created the need for more precise navigational assistance, in order to approach image-defined lesions. Several methods that transform coordinates from imaging studies to the surgical field have been developed and used in intraoperative guidance systems.
