Brainshift correction using navigated intraoperative ultrasound informs intraoperative decision-making during glioma surgery

Year: 2025

Type: article

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.
