Our motivation comes from the literature’s shortcomings in designing and implementing path-planning methods. Since planning paths with curvatures is a complex problem that requires considering many surgical and physiological constraints, most path-planning strategies focus on straight paths. There is also a lack of studies that focus on the complete structure of the brain with the tracks, veins, and segmented areas. Instrument dependence is another inadequacy of the methods proposed in the literature.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Aims&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;The aim of this study is to design a new surgical path planning framework that helps to plan the surgical path independently of the instrument, considers the entire structure of the brain, and allows curvilinear surgical paths. Thus, neurosurgeons can generate patient-specific possible optimal surgical pathways before the neurosurgical procedure.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Materials &amp; Methods&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;The proposed framework includes different path-finding algorithms (Dijkstra, A*, and their aggressive variants) that find optimal paths by taking the risk scores (surgeons assessed all the segmented regions, considering the extent of damage. In this evaluation, scores ranged from “0 to 10,” with the most critical areas receiving a score of “10,” while the least possible affected areas were assigned a score of \"0\") for sensitive brain areas into consideration. For the tract image processing the framework includes fractional anisotropy (FA), relative anisotropy (RA), spherical measure (SM), and linear measure (LM) methods.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Results&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;This is the first paper to handle tracts and atlas-based segmentation of the human brain altogether under a framework for surgical path planning. The framework has a dynamic structure that gives the flexibility to add different path-finding algorithms and generate different widths of surgical pathways. Moreover, surgeons can update the score table to guarantee minimally invasive surgery. The output file format of all the extracted surgical paths is NRRD, so it can be easily visualised, analysed, or processed over the third part software tools.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Discussion&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":50311,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/rcs.2576","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41158912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
