Augmented inline-based navigation for stereotactic image guided neurosurgery

Image-guided neurosurgery requires navigation in 3D using a computer-assisted surgery system that tracks surgical tools in realtime and displays their positions with respect to the preoperatively acquired images (e.g. CT, MRI, fMRI etc.) A key problem in image guided procedures is the need to navigate to specific locations highlighted in the images, such as image-derived functional areas, that have no obvious corresponding anatomical landmarks - we refer to such locations as virtual landmarks. To address these issues, we contribute a novel interactive visualization technique to provide improved feedback to surgeons - Augmented inline visualization. Based on the results of an expert evaluation, we found neurosurgeons to be 30% more accurate when using our augmented inline representation.
