Background Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a fast imaging technique with a substantially lower radiation dosage than conventional multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) for sinus imaging. Surgical navigation systems are increasingly being used in endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery, reducing perioperative morbidity. Objective To investigate CBCT as a low-radiation imaging modality for use in surgical navigation. Methods The required field of view was measured from the tip of the nose to the posterior clinoid process anteroposteriorly and the nasolabial angle to the roof of the frontal sinus superoinferiorly on 50 consecutive MDCT scans (male = 25; age = 17–85 years). A phantom head was manufactured by 3-dimensional printing and imaged using 3 CBCT scanners (Carestream, J Morita, and NewTom), a conventional MDCT scanner (Siemens), and highly accurate laser scanner (FARO). The phantom head was registered to 3 surgical navigation systems (Brainlab, Stryker, and Medtronic) using scans from each system. Results The required field of view (mean ± standard deviation) was measured as 107 ± 7.6 mm anteroposteriorly and 90.3 ± 9.6 mm superoinferiorly. Image error deviations from the laser scan (median ± interquartile range) were comparable for MDCT (0.19 ± 0.09 mm) and CBCT (CBCT 1: 0.15 ± 0.11 mm; CBCT 2: 0.33 ± 0.18 mm; and CBCT 3: 0.13 ± 0.13 mm) scanners. Fiducial registration error and target registration error were also comparable for MDCT- and CBCT-based navigation. Conclusion CBCT is a low-radiation preoperative imaging modality suitable for use in surgical navigation.

Abstract Differentiation of true tumor progression from treatment-related effects remains a major unmet need in caring for patients with glioblastoma. Here, we report how the intraoperative combination of MRI with18F-fluciclovine PET guided surgical sampling in 2 patients with recurrent glioblastoma.18F-Fluciclovine PET is FDA approved for use in prostate cancer and carries an orphan drug designation in glioma. To investigate its utility in recurrent glioblastoma, we fused PET and MRI images using 2 different surgical navigation systems and performed targeted stereotactic biopsies from the areas of high (“hot”) and low (“cold”) radiotracer uptake. Concordant histopathologic and imaging findings suggest that a combined18F-fluciclovine PET-MRI–guided approach can guide neurosurgical resection of viable recurrent glioblastoma in the background of treatment-related effects, which can otherwise look similar on MRI.

AbstractWhile medical imaging data have traditionally been viewed on two-dimensional (2D) displays, augmented reality (AR) allows physicians to project the medical imaging data on patient's bodies to locate important anatomy. We present a surgical AR application to plan the retrosigmoid craniotomy, a standard approach to access the posterior fossa and the internal auditory canal. As a simple and accurate alternative to surface landmarks and conventional surgical navigation systems, our AR application augments the surgeon's vision to guide the optimal location of cortical bone removal. In this work, two surgeons performed a retrosigmoid approach 14 times on eight cadaver heads. In each case, the surgeon manually aligned a computed tomography (CT)-derived virtual rendering of the sigmoid sinus on the real cadaveric heads using a see-through AR display, allowing the surgeon to plan and perform the craniotomy accordingly. Postprocedure CT scans were acquired to assess the accuracy of the retrosigmoid craniotomies with respect to their intended location relative to the dural sinuses. The two surgeons had a mean margin of davg = 0.6 ± 4.7 mm and davg = 3.7 ± 2.3 mm between the osteotomy border and the dural sinuses over all their cases, respectively, and only positive margins for 12 of the 14 cases. The intended surgical approach to the internal auditory canal was successfully achieved in all cases using the proposed method, and the relatively small and consistent margins suggest that our system has the potential to be a valuable tool to facilitate planning a variety of similar skull-base procedures.

AbstractConventional surgical navigation systems rely on preoperative imaging to provide guidance. In laparoscopic liver surgery, insufflation of the abdomen (pneumoperitoneum) can cause deformations on the liver, introducing inaccuracies in the correspondence between the preoperative images and the intraoperative reality. This study evaluates the improvements provided by intraoperative imaging for laparoscopic liver surgical navigation, when displayed as augmented reality (AR). Significant differences were found in terms of accuracy of the AR, in favor of intraoperative imaging. In addition, results showed an effect of user-induced error: image-to-patient registration based on annotations performed by clinicians caused 33% more inaccuracy as compared to image-to-patient registration algorithms that do not depend on user annotations. Hence, to achieve accurate surgical navigation for laparoscopic liver surgery, intraoperative imaging is recommendable to compensate for deformation. Moreover, user annotation errors may lead to inaccuracies in registration processes.
