We’re reimagining the standard of care in neurosurgery, particularly in critical brain tumor cases where preserving vital functions like movement and speech demands unparalleled precision. Our globally adopted and comprehensive workflow seamlessly integrates at any point in the patient journey, providing a cohesive experience that ensures superior outcomes and exceptional customer retention within our dataverse.

A fundamental shift in seamless integration

The surgical journey begins with the creation of a digital twin of the patient. By aggregating all diagnostic imaging into a single, intelligent 3D model, we transform raw data into a computer-readable map of the patient’s anatomy. We’re enhancing every step in the workflow with data, insights and technology to improve outcomes and drive neurosurgery progress.

Step 1Surgical planning

Confirming in the physician’s office

AI-powered interactive tools enable efficient and effective surgical planning—confirming tumors in seconds and embedding them into the digital twin. Surgeons can interactively trace fiber tracts—the brain’s internal wiring—to identify what must be preserved

Suite planning

A comprehensive suite of planning tools delivers precision at every step of a neurosurgery workflow from image fusion, distortion correction and segmentation to target outlining, fiber tracking and trajectory planning

Step 2Surgical simulation

Rehearsing in the O.R.

In the O.R., the surgical team reviews and updates the plan layer by layer using the interactive model to simulate the craniotomy in advance. It’s a meticulous rehearsal before the first incision is made.

Perfecting the approach

Automatic segmentation of key anatomical structures, 3D previews of lesions and critical areas and a virtual scalpel combined with detailed navigation views and advanced vessel visualization together support precise and informed surgical approaches.

Step 3Surgical navigation

Tracking every move during the procedure

The digital and physical worlds merge via surgical navigation, where every move is calculated and every risk mapped. Surgical instruments are tracked in real time, guiding the surgeon safely around critical structures identified during planning.

Step 4Surgical augmentation

Enhancing and updating in real time

The microscope, a core tool in neurosurgery, is seamlessly calibrated with the navigation system, overlaying the digital map directly into the surgeon’s field of view.

Intraoperative ultrasound delivers a dynamic layer of confidence to accommodate for brain shift during resection. The pre-op digital twin is updated with newly captured data to reflect real time changes and surgeons operate with a live, up-to-date and data-driven view of the brain.

Step 5Radiosurgery planning

Targeting remaining tumor

If the patient’s tumor cannot be fully surgically resected due to increased risk, Brainlab offers a hybrid treatment option including radiosurgery planning to target remaining tumor.

An updated post-surgery MRI can be fused, compared to the pre-operative plan, and used to generate a radiosurgery plan.

Step 6Radiosurgery treatment

Monitoring patients with submillimetric accuracy

Clinicians use Brainlab technology for enhanced patient positioning and monitoring during radiosurgery. Deep integration with major linear accelerators ensures safe and seamless execution. ExacTrac Dynamic continuously captures patient position using optical, thermal and x-ray modalities, tracking and compensating for movement with submillimetric accuracy. Focused radiation from multiple directions precisely targets the tumor delivering treatment with surgical precision in around 10 to 15 minutes.
