Intraoperative Imaging Modalities and Compensation for Brain Shift in Tumor Resection Surgery

الملخص EN

Intraoperative brain shift during neurosurgical procedures is a well-known phenomenon caused by gravity, tissue manipulation, tumor size, loss of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and use of medication.

For the use of image-guided systems, this phenomenon greatly affects the accuracy of the guidance.

During the last several decades, researchers have investigated how to overcome this problem.

The purpose of this paper is to present a review of publications concerning different aspects of intraoperative brain shift especially in a tumor resection surgery such as intraoperative imaging systems, quantification, measurement, modeling, and registration techniques.

Clinical experience of using intraoperative imaging modalities, details about registration, and modeling methods in connection with brain shift in tumor resection surgery are the focuses of this review.

In total, 126 papers regarding this topic are analyzed in a comprehensive summary and are categorized according to fourteen criteria.

The result of the categorization is presented in an interactive web tool.

The consequences from the categorization and trends in the future are discussed at the end of this work.
