Neuronavigation
  • The neuronavigation system consists of an IR camera that correlates the patient’s facial anatomy to a preoperative MRI shown on the monitor. Special instruments are used during the procedure (right picture) which allow the surgeon to match intraoperative anatomy with the patient’s preoperative MRI.
    • Combination of preoperative imaging and the optical triangulation of an instrument using infrared light
    • Precise tumor localization has allowed the development of minimally invasive neurosurgical approaches and reduction in surgical morbidity.
    • Allows the surgeon the ability to truly “navigate” in and around the brain as they provide near-real-time localization, orientation and guidance
