• Abstract summary: We present a method for live image-only guidance leveraging a large data set of annotated neurosurgical videos. A generated roadmap encodes the common anatomical paths taken in surgeries in the training set. We trained and evaluated the proposed method with a data set of 166 transsphenoidal adenomectomy procedures.

• Abstract: Advanced minimally invasive neurosurgery navigation relies mainly on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) guidance. MRI guidance, however, only provides pre-operative information in the majority of the cases. Once the surgery begins, the value of this guidance diminishes to some extent because of the anatomical changes due to surgery. Guidance with live image feedback coming directly from the surgical device, e.g., endoscope, can complement MRI-based navigation or be an alternative if MRI guidance is not feasible. With this motivation, we present a method for live image-only guidance leveraging a large data set of annotated neurosurgical videos.First, we report the performance of a deep learning-based object detection method, YOLO, on detecting anatomical structures in neurosurgical images. Second, we present a method for generating neurosurgical roadmaps using unsupervised embedding without assuming exact anatomical matches between patients, presence of an extensive anatomical atlas, or the need for simultaneous localization and mapping. A generated roadmap encodes the common anatomical paths taken in surgeries in the training set. At inference, the roadmap can be used to map a surgeon's current location using live image feedback on the path to provide guidance by being able to predict which structures should appear going forward or backward, much like a mapping application. Even though the embedding is not supervised by position information, we show that it is correlated to the location inside the brain and on the surgical path. We trained and evaluated the proposed method with a data set of 166 transsphenoidal adenomectomy procedures.

  We present a novel approach for 3D/2D intraoperative registration during neurosurgery via cross-modal inverse neural rendering. Our approach separates implicit neural representation into two components, handling anatomical structure preoperatively and appearance intraoperatively. We tested our method on retrospective patients' data from clinical cases, showing that our method outperforms state-of-the-art while meeting current clinical standards for registration.
