“…Even though multiple indirect methods have been proposed to limit brain shift associated errors (ultrasounds, stereovision, etc. (Fan et al, 2016, Gerard and Collins, 2015, Prada et al, 2014, Sun et al, 2005)), the best currently available solution for WMT comparisons to DES is the direct use of data from intra-operative MRI. We summarize the existing literature in Table 1.…”

We perform a review of the literature in the field of white matter tractography for neurosurgical planning, focusing on those works where tractography was correlated with clinical information such as patient outcome, clinical functional testing, or electro-cortical stimulation. We organize the review by anatomical location in the brain and by surgical procedure, including both supratentorial and infratentorial pathologies, and excluding spinal cord applications. Where possible, we discuss implications of tractography for clinical care, as well as clinically relevant technical considerations regarding the tractography methods.We find that tractography is a valuable tool in variable situations in modern neurosurgery. Our survey of recent reports demonstrates multiple potentially successful applications of white matter tractography in neurosurgery, with progress towards overcoming clinical challenges of standardization and interpretation.

“…Even though image distortion produced by a 1.5 T MRI is less than 0.5 mm and acceptable for performing procedures, the current state of imaging accuracy should be improved (42). A recent study reported that errors associated with tracking, tool calibration and registration played a significant role in IGN and should be corrected for surgical accuracy (43).…”

Image-guided neurosurgery (IGN) is a technique for localizing objects of surgical interest within the brain. In the past, its main use was placement of electrodes; however, the advent of computed tomography has led to a rebirth of IGN. Advances in computing techniques and neuroimaging tools allow improved surgical planning and intraoperative information. IGN influences many neurosurgical fields including neuro-oncology, functional disease, and radiosurgery. As development continues, several problems remain to be solved. This article provides a general overview of IGN with a brief discussion of future directions.

“…Closed-form equations for propagating the uncertainty of the measured markers to the pose were derived in [7,8] while the influence of bias in the marker locations on the pose was studied in [9]. The analytical formulas derived in these papers for different noise models were tested in both computer simulations and camera-based tracking systems [10,11]. The formulas enabled the optimization of marker placement so that the error propagated to a specific point using noisy, inaccurate registration could be minimized [12].…”

The performance of marker-based, six degrees of freedom (6DOF) pose measuring systems is investigated. For instruments in this class, the pose is derived from locations of a few three-dimensional (3D) points. For such configurations to be used, the rigid-body condition-which requires that the distance between any two points must be fixed, regardless of orientation and position of the configuration-must be satisfied. This report introduces metrics that gauge the deviation from the rigid-body condition. The use of these metrics is demonstrated on the problem of reducing robot localization error in assembly applications. Experiments with two different systems used to reduce the localization error of the same industrial robot yielded two conflicting outcomes. The data acquired with one system led to substantial reduction in both position and orientation error of the robot, while the data acquired with a second system led to comparable reduction in the position error only. The difference is attributed to differences between metrics used to characterize the two systems.
