(a–c) Offsets in AP, ML and DV direction and Euclidean distance (ED) (in mm) between planned and actual target (a) and entry (b) locations as derived from post-operative MRI (mri) and its 3D trajectory reconstruction (rec-mri; n = 17 trajectories from Exp.1). (c) Offset in angular inclination (in degrees) between the planned and actual trajectory along ML (α) and AP (β) directions; (d–e) Translation and angular offsets at target and entry as computed from post-operative MR image (mri) and those that were reconstructed based on MRI (rec-mri) are illustrated as boxplots with continuous lines (n = 5 trajectories from Exp.2). Similar measures computed from post-operative CT image (ct) and the reconstruction from CT image (rec-ct) are shown as boxplots in dashed lines. The measurements from a manual observer in CTpost images (obs-ct) are illustrated in green colored boxplots.
