Neuro-navigation is an advanced technology that assists neurosurgeons in performing precise and minimally invasive surgeries by providing detailed imaging of brain and spinal structures thereby avoiding damage to the surrounding normal neural structures. The technology is like the navigation systems used in mobile phones and automobiles.
At Apollo Hospitals, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, our neurosurgeons are adept in utilising this cutting-edge technology to enhance surgical accuracy and improve patient outcomes.
How Does Neuro-navigation Help?
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) images are taken before the surgery. These images are uploaded into the neuro-navigation system. By placing a probe on the skin surface, the safest and shortest road map to the region of interest like a timour is produced by the navigation system. This allows neurosurgeons to carry out necessary interventions with minimal complications.
Clinical Applications of Neuro-Navigation
Some of the clinical applications of neuro-navigation include:
