neuronavigation

Neuronavigation is a high-tech method used during brain surgery to help surgeons see exactly where they are operating. It combines advanced imaging techniques, like MRI and CT scans, with real-time tracking of instruments inside the brain. This allows the surgeon to precisely navigate to specific areas, minimizing damage to healthy tissue. Think of it like a GPS for the brain, guiding the surgeon through the complex landscape of neurons and pathways, ensuring safer and more effective surgery for conditions like tumors or epilepsy.
