Brainshift correction using navigated intraoperative ultrasound informs intraoperative decision-making during glioma surgery
Abstract
Background: Brainshift can hamper the accuracy of neuronavigation systems in intra-axial tumor surgery. Correction of brainshift becomes imperative to avoid loss of accuracy and erroneous assessment of residual tumor as well as its relationship to critical eloquent substrates.
Method: This paper describes a case of a frontal tumor close to motor cortex. Workflow for rigid image fusion (RIF) based iUS-MR correction of brainshift is demonstrated highlighting its accuracy and clinical value in assessing tumor margins as well as functional boundaries.
Conclusion: iUS-MR fusion provides a cost-effective, accurate and practical solution for observation and correction of brainshift.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
