The integration of positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) has been an ongoing research topic for the last 20 years. This paper gives an …

Neuronavigation has become an ubiquitous tool in the surgical management of brain
tumors. This review describes the use and limitations of current neuronavigational systems …

Image-guided therapy (IGT) uses imaging to improve the localization and targeting of
diseased tissue and to monitor and control treatments. During the past decade, image …

A new information-theoretic approach is presented for finding the registration of volumetric
medical images of differing modalities. Registration is achieved by adjustment of the relative …

OBJECTIVE: We describe the development and implementation of a new open configuration
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, with which neurosurgical procedures can be …

OBJECTIVE: A major shortcoming of image-guided navigational systems is the use of
preoperatively acquired image data, which does not account for intraoperative changes in …

OBJECTIVE: A quantitative analysis of intraoperative cortical shift and deformation was
performed to gain a better understanding of the nature and extent of this problem and the …

A surgical guidance and visualization system is presented, which uniquely integrates
capabilities for data analysis and on‐line interventional guidance into the setting of …

The temperature sensitivity of the proton‐resonance frequency (PRF) has proven valuable
for the monitoring of MR image‐guided thermal coagulation therapy. However, there is …

Advances in the basic scientific research within the field of computer assisted oral and
maxillofacial surgery have enabled us to introduce features of these techniques into routine …
