Throughout its history, the field of neurosurgery has been revolutionized by improvements in imaging. From the development of the pneumoencephalogram, to the operating microscope, to cross sectional imaging with CT and later MRI, to stereotaxy and neuronavigation, the ability to visualize the pathology and surrounding neural structures has been the driving factor leading surgical innovation and improved outcomes. The last decade has seen perhaps the greatest impact of imaging in neurosurgery. Several examples include the ubiquitous use of neuronavigation in cranial surgery, the increasing adoption of intra-operative MRI, and the enormous growth of interventional neuroradiology and catheter based interventions. The book will be of interest to neurosurgeons, interventional radiologists, neurologists, psychiatrists, and radiologists, as well as technical experts in imaging, image analysis, computer science, and biomedical engineering. *A comprehensive reference on image-guided neurosurgery *Includes coverage of neuronavigation in cranial surgery, adoption of intra-operative MRI and interventional neuroradiology and catheter based interventions *Covers all image-guided neurosurgery tools including robotic surgical devices
