Optical Monitoring Techniques for Navigation during Stereotactic Neurosurgery
Abstract:Optical techniques are becoming increasingly important in healthcare, as both therapeutic and diagnostic tools. In neurosurgery, photonic technologies such as the microscope have already found widespread use. The overall aim of this paper is to give an overview of optical monitoring methods and their implementation and use in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery. The development steps presented in this paper range from radiofrequency-lesion size estimation using optics to a system adapted for neurosurgical… Show more
