Neuro-navigation systems are medical devices primarily used during brain surgeries to help surgeons precisely locate surgical targets within the brain and guide surgical instruments. They incorporate real-time imaging during surgery with three-dimensional anatomical maps generated preoperatively from MRI or CT scans, so that surgeons can navigate tool tips and surgical targets co-registered to the 3D scan. Technological advancements have enabled neuro-navigation systems to be used during ... Read more

What are Neuro-navigation Systems?

Neuro-navigation systems, also known as image-guided surgery systems, are computer-assisted technologies that help neurosurgeons accurately identify the location of lesions, tumors and other abnormalities inside the brain during surgical procedures. These systems use preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scans of the patient's brain and fuse them with real-time intraoperative data to provide navigation ...
