Preoperative surgical planning and simulation of complex cranial base tumors in virtual reality

The extremely complex anatomic relationships among bone, tumor, blood vessels and cranial nervesremains a big challenge for cranial base tumor surgery. Therefore, a good understanding of the patient specific anatomy and a preoperative planning are helpful and crucial for the neurosurgeons. Three dim...

More Information
Summary:The extremely complex anatomic relationships among bone, tumor, blood vessels and cranial nervesremains a big challenge for cranial base tumor surgery. Therefore, a good understanding of the patient specific anatomy and a preoperative planning are helpful and crucial for the neurosurgeons. Three dimensional （3-D） visualization of various imaging techniques have been widely explored to enhance the comprehension of volumetric data for surgical planning.
