Neuroanatomical digital image processing in CT-guided stereotactic operations. 1983

C Giorgi, and G Garibotto, and U Cerchiari, and G Broggi, and A Franzini, and M Koslow

In order to utilize computed tomography (CT) for functional neurosurgical procedures, a number of problems must be resolved. One such problem is the development of an appropriate technique for digital processing of neuroanatomical images. Our previous work concerned a numerical reproduction of a well-known stereotactic atlas and its three-dimensional manipulation. In order to efficiently utilize this information with CT images we propose a technique for data reduction that allows the reconstruction of anatomical structures from the atlas. The logic of implementing these data in CT-assisted stereotactic surgery is described.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D001927 Brain Diseases Pathologic conditions affecting the BRAIN, which is composed of the intracranial components of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. This includes (but is not limited to) the CEREBRAL CORTEX; intracranial white matter; BASAL GANGLIA; THALAMUS; HYPOTHALAMUS; BRAIN STEM; and CEREBELLUM.
