Integration of Customized Navigation Software for Real-Time MR Image-Guided Surgery

Year: 2002

Type: article

Abstract: In order to complement the limitation of real-time MR images for MR-guided surgery, navigation software was customized to display the real-time image and 2 re-sliced images (same and perpendicular planes to the real-time image) from high resolution 3D volume data registered beforehand. Re-sliced images showed higher image quality, faster response, and easier recognition of the target than the real-time MR image. Images with different contrast, such as T2-weighted images, Gd-enhanced images and also CT images could be used for navigation. The integration of the customized software was quite helpful for easier and more accurate image navigation in MR-guided surgery.
