Workflow for the exploration of histopathological based neurosurgical decision-making. a Coronal schematic of possible neurosurgical approach for brain tumors using intraoperative SRH imaging for detection of the tumor borders. b Use of a frameless image-guided stereotactic biopsy system through a burr hole at the center of the planned craniotomy. Yellow arrowhead symbolizes samples dedicated to conventional neuropathological diagnostic, and white arrowhead symbolizes intraoperative SRH. c Craniotomy with potential brain shift and loss of navigation accuracy over time. d Sampling of resection borders to guide resection or for assessment of final resection margins.
