Figure 7. Neurosurgery Example #2.

Figure 7

The image above is a screenshot obtained using the BrainLAB VectorVision Cranial Software during an operation. The top right, and the two bottom views show standard VVCranial visualizations and tool tracking. The top left visualization, which originates from the research system, shows an overlay of a surface model of the localization of intracranial electrodes (as performed using a post-implantation CT image and registrations back to the MRI image) overlaid on a preoperative MRI image. The surgical pointer is also shown in green in the research visualization window (top left). This figure is reprinted from Papademetris et. al.
