Advances in Intraoperative Imaging and Guidance for Neurosurgery

Explore cutting-edge developments in neurosurgical imaging and guidance systems through this 25-minute lecture presented by Dr. Jeffrey Siewerdsen, Professor of Imaging Physics at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Delivered at the Bookout Center symposium for Robotics, Imaging, and Digital Surgery, discover three key innovations revolutionizing neuroendoscopic procedures: advanced intraoperative CT imaging enhanced by physically principled AI, deep learning-based deformable registration techniques for aligning preoperative MRI with intraoperative CT, and robotic assistance systems for 3D endoscopy with augmented surgical planning overlay capabilities. Learn about laboratory findings, early clinical implementations, and future prospects for clinical integration of these technologies.
