No special preparations are required for patients undergoing surgery with neuronavigation, beyond those standard for any surgery.
Pre-operatively, advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or Computed Tomography (CT) scans of the surgical area are obtained.
The resulting 3D images are superimposed and uploaded to the neuronavigation system used during the surgery. Once the patient is in the operating room, a probe is moved across the skin surface to create a 3D map of the surgical area on the computer.
This provides the surgical team with the shortest and safest route to the surgical site.
The neuronavigation system, which maps the patient's 3D radiological scans, highlights various risk areas in the brain or spinal cord, allowing the surgeon to work only on the affected area and avoid nearby healthy tissue.
