Intraoperative Imaging in Neurosurgery

This book is a complete guide to intraoperative imaging in neurosurgery.

Divided into eighteen sections, the text begins with an introduction to the history of neuroimaging and an overview of intraoperative imaging in neurosurgery.

The following chapters discuss different types of intraoperative imaging techniques (magnetic resource imaging, computed tomography, ultrasound) and the use of each of these techniques during different surgical procedures, including epilepsy surgery, pituitary surgeries, skull base surgeries, cerebrovascular surgeries and more.

A complete chapter is dedicated to multimodality imaging and the final chapter considers the future of navigation and intraoperative imaging.

Intraoperative photographs and figures further enhance the comprehensive text.
