Image Guided and Computer Assisted Neurosurgery

Current members of VisAGeS involved

Short summary

In this last period, we drawn the contours of model guided surgical systems including the notion of pre and intra operative patient specific models and surgical process models. In this context, our objectives in this period was directed towards three major achievements:

  • Minimally invasive therapies in Neurosurgery, which includes translation of our work in neuronavigation to transcranial magnetic stimulation and planning work in Deep Brain Stimulation (CAS-S) - More ...
  • Intraoperative brain deformations in neurosurgery, which includes major results in introducing intraoperative imaging in the operative room through integration of 3D free-hand ultrasound and surface-based intraoperative imagery in neurosurgery for brain shift estimation (IGNS) More ...
  • Models of surgical expertise which includes advances in proposing new surgical process models and cognitive analysis of surgical planning and information requirements in image guided neurosurgery (SPM) More ...

Major collaborations

  • France: Rennes Psychiatric Hospital (Pr. Millet) – CAS-S; Cognitive Ergonomy Group (Valoria at University of Bretagne Sud, Vannes, Pr. Morineau) – CAS-S, IGNS, SPM
  • International: ICCAS, University of Leipzig, Germany (Pr. Lemke, Pr. Meixensberger, Dr. Strauss, Dr Burgert) - SPM; HTWK, Leipzig, Germany (Dr. Korb) - SPM; CAMPAR, Univ. McGill, Montreal, Canada through the NeurOMIMe international team (Pr. L. Collins) – IGNS, SPM
  • Industry: Carl Zeiss - Meditech, Germany and France - Medtronic SNT and Neuromodulation (France and USA) – IGNS, CAS-S

Major external supports

  • INRIA ”ODL“ (software development project) - IGNS
  • ANR US-COMP with the Lagadic project-team in Rennes - IGNS
  • Grant from Brittany Regional Council – SPM, CAS-S, SPM
  • Research contract with psychiatric university hospital of Rennes - CAS-S
  • Research contract with Carl Zeiss – IGNS, SPM
  • Research contract with with Medtronic – IGNS, CAS-S
