Computer-assisted surgical planning and intraoperative navigation in the treatment of condylar osteochondroma

CT-MRI Image Fusion-Based Computer-Assisted Navigation Management of Communicative Tumors Involved the Infratemporal-Middle Cranial Fossa

“…21 Design of the optimistic biopsy trajectory path, simulation of surgical approach, and osteotomy position that benefit for tumor removal can also be obtained using the navigation software. 27,28 To enhance the precision of the operation planning, the accuracy of multimodal image fusion is critical, which depends on many factors, including the quality and resolution of the primary image data, the autofusion algorithm, and the thickness of image scanning slice. 20,29 The Brain-Lab planning software and its image fusion function has been routinely used in numerous hospitals around the world and assisted physicians in the creation of treatment plans for radiotherapy and neurosurgery.…”

Osteochondroma of the mandibular angle: Report case and literature review

“…Lesions are asymptomatic and incidentally discovered, and if present symptoms, the most common of these is the slow development of tumor [5].…”

“…Only three cases of osteochondroma in mandibular angle have been reported previously in literature [3,4]. Osteochondroma may present in solitary form or as multiple osteochondromas, syndrome known as osteochondromatosis [5].…”

Application of preoperative registration and automatic tracking technique for image-guided maxillofacial surgery

“…Navigational surgery has shown great potential for maxillofacial surgery, particularly when precise location of any instrument or bony anatomic landmark is required. [1][2][3][4] Two key problems for navigational surgery are accurate patient-to-image registration and ongoing tracking of patient's position. Fiducial-based registration is currently available to achieve proper alignment and regarded as 'gold standard'.…”
