Augmented Reality in Stereotactic Neurosurgery: Current Status and Issues [PDF]
Neurologia Medico-Chirurgica, 2023 Stereotactic neurosurgery is an established technique, but it has several limitations. In frame-based stereotaxy using a stereotactic frame, frame setting errors may decrease the accuracy of the procedure.

Study on the clinical application of pulsed DC magnetic technology for tracking of intraoperative head motion during frameless stereotaxy [PDF]
Head & Face Medicine, 2006 Background Tracking of post-registration head motion is one of the major problems in frameless stereotaxy. Various attempts in detecting and compensating for this phenomenon rely on a fixed reference device rigidly attached to the patient's head. However,

Identifying risk factors associated with postpartum depression: a retrospective case-control study [PDF]
BMC Pregnancy and ChildbirthBackground Postpartum depression (PPD) is a common complication following childbirth, affecting approximately 10–20% of women. Despite its prevalence, PPD remains underdiagnosed and insufficiently addressed in routine perinatal care, particularly in ...

AI-driven ablative margin assessment after HCC radiofrequency ablation: a case-control feasibility study [PDF]
European Radiology ExperimentalObjective Thermal ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) requires an adequate safety margin around the tumor to ensure treatment success. In this retrospective study, we evaluated an artificial intelligence (AI) pipeline for automatic safety margin ...

Risk-benefit analysis of surgical treatment strategies for cystic craniopharyngioma in children and adolescents [PDF]
Frontiers in OncologyObjectiveTreatment strategies for craniopharyngiomas are still under debate particularly for the young population. We here present tumor control and functional outcome data after surgical treatment focusing on stereotactic and microsurgical procedures ...

Stereotaxis: Its history, generalities and updating. [PDF]
Medisur, 2005 The brain is considered the human being’s organ rector, it is characterized by its fragility, complexity and fineness, therefore any surgical intervention on him should be precise and sure.

The Silent Transformation of Stereotactic Brain Biopsies After the Introduction of Robotics. [PDF]
Int J Med RobotABSTRACT Background In frame‐based stereotaxy, the design of the frame limits trajectory selection, e.g., to the temporal lobe and posterior fossa. We hypothesise that frame‐less neuronavigation and robotic technology might have expanded these stereotactic corridors. Methods We analysed 376 frame‐based, neuronavigated and robotic brain biopsies.

Frameless stereotaxy in subthalamic deep brain stimulation: 3-year clinical outcome [PDF]
, 2021 Background: In most centers, the surgery of deep brain stimulation (DBS) is performed using a stereotactic frame. Compared with frame-based technique, frameless stereotaxy reduces the duration of surgical procedure and patient’s discomfort, with lead ...
