Abstract

We present our project which aims at developing, validating and proposing a prototype for a neuronavigation station able to improve the precision of the actual systems, without per-operative MRI. Our goal is to integrate, in a "classical" image guided surgery (IGS) station, a model of the defor- mations of the cerebral soft-tissue and more specifically the "brain shift", phenomenon which is observed during neurosurgery. This unables the IGS stations presently commercialized around the world to take into account most of the brain open surgeries. These stations help guiding the surgeons for gestures such as biopsies or tumor resection. Starting from pre-operative medical imaging exams, the tumor is localized on the images and the surgical planning is transferred into the operating room. Because of the "brain shift", this planning has to be updated during surgery, to ensure sufficient accuracy. The solutions proposed consist in developing a real-time mechanical model of the brain soft tissues, which will be updated with intraoperative ultrasound images, in order to estimate and compensate the mechanical deformations of the brain during surgery. We present advanced technologies for neurosurgery.
