Anatomic Skull Base Education Using Advanced Neuroimaging Techniques

The present model results are found to be effective, providing a valuable representation of the surgical anatomy as well as a 3D visual feedback, thus improving study, design, and execution in a variety of approaches. Such a system can also be developed as a preoperative planning tool that will allow the neurosurgeon to practice and manipulate 3D representations of the critical anatomic landmarks involved in the endoscopic endonasal approaches to the skull base.
