Schulze M, Hirt B, Reimann K. Flat panel CT versus multidetector CT in skull base imaging: are there differences in image quality? Head Face Med 2023; 19:50. [PMID: 37980498 PMCID: PMC10656997 DOI: 10.1186/s13005-023-00391-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/20/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Purpose of this study was to compare image quality of the skull base in standard 20s protocol flat panel computed tomography (FPCT) with the new time and dose improved 10s protocol as well as with 128 slice multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). METHODS 10 whole skull preparations were scanned with either 128 slice MDCT(SOMATOM Definition AS+, Siemens, Erlangen) or FPCT (AXIOM-Artis, Siemens, Erlangen) using 10s or 20s protocol. RESULTS FPCT provides significantly better image quality and improved delimitation of clinically relevant structures in the anterior, temporal and posterior skull base compared to 128 slice MDCT. The 20s FPCT protocol yielded best delimitability of evaluated skull base structures. However, the shorter, dose saving 10s FPCT protocol was still significantly superior to 128 slice MDCT regarding delimitability of skull base structures and additionally showed no significant inferiority compared with the 20s FPCT protocol. CONCLUSIONS The 10s FPCT protocol yields a significantly better image quality at a comparable radiation dose exposure in imaging skull base structures compared to MDCT.

Abstract
The main goal of brain tumor surgery is to achieve gross total tumor resection without postoperative complications and permanent new deficits. However, when the lesion is located close or within eloquent brain areas, cranial nerves, and/or major brain vessels, it is imperative to balance the extent of resection with the risk of harming the patient, by following a so-called maximal safe resection philosophy. This view implies a shift from an approach-guided attitude, in which few standard surgical approaches are used to treat almost all intracranial tumors, to a pathology-guided one, with surgical approaches actually tailored to the specific tumor that has to be treated with specific dedicated pre- and intraoperative tools and techniques. In this chapter, the basic principles of the most commonly used neurosurgical approaches in brain tumors surgery are presented and discussed along with an overview on all available modern tools able to improve intraoperative visualization, extent of resection, and postoperative clinical outcome.

Abstract
The use of optic technology in skull base surgeries has the potential to revolutionize the field of medicine, particularly neurosurgery and neurology. Here, we briefly present the past, present, and future of skull-base surgery, with an emphasis on the applications of optical topography techniques. We discuss optical topography techniques such as functional near-infrared spectroscopy, optical diffusion tomography, and optical topographical imaging. Optical topography techniques are particularly advantageous when combined with other imaging methods. For instance, optical topography can be combined with techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to combine the temporal resolution of optical topography with the spatial resolution of fMRI. Multimodal approaches will be critical to advance brain-related research as well as medicine. Structured light imaging techniques are also writing the future of 3-dimensional imaging. In short, optical topography can allow for non-invasive, high-resolution imaging that will provide real-time visualizations of the brain that are ideal for neurosurgery. From the limitations of traditional skull base surgeries to the newest developments in optical neuroimaging, here we will discuss the potential applications of optics in skull base procedures.

Abstract
This article discusses intraoperative imaging techniques used during high-grade glioma surgery. Gliomas can be difficult to differentiate from surrounding tissue during surgery. Intraoperative imaging helps to alleviate problems encountered during glioma surgery, such as brain shift and residual tumor. There are a variety of modalities available all of which aim to give the surgeon more information, address brain shift, identify residual tumor, and increase the extent of surgical resection. The article starts with a brief introduction followed by a review of with the latest advances in intraoperative ultrasound, intraoperative MRI, and intraoperative computed tomography.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Image-guided surgery (IGS) has gained widespread acceptance in otorhinolaryngology for its applications in sinus and skull base surgery. Although the core concepts of IGS have not changed, advances in image guidance technology, including the incorporation of intraoperative imaging, have the potential to enhance surgical education, allow for more rigorous preoperative planning, and aid in more complete surgery with improved outcomes. OBJECTIVES Provide a clinical update regarding the use of image guidance and intraoperative imaging in the field of rhinology and endoscopic skull base surgery with a focus on current state of the art technologies. METHODS English-language studies published in PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase were searched for articles relating to image-guided sinus surgery, skull base surgery, and intraoperative imaging. Relevant studies were reviewed and critical appraisals were included in this clinical update, highlighting current state of the art advances. CONCLUSIONS As image guidance and intraoperative imaging systems have advanced, their applications in sinus and skull base surgery have expanded. Both technologies offer invaluable real-time feedback on the status and progress of surgery, and thus may help to improve the completeness of surgery and overall outcomes. Recent advances such as augmented and virtual reality offer a window into the future of IGS. Future advancements should aim to enhance the surgeon's operative experience by improving user satisfaction and ultimately lead to better surgical results.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION New intraoperative imaging techniques, which aim to improve tumour resection, have been implemented in recent years in brain tumour surgery, although they lead to an increase in resources. In order to carry out an update on this topic, this manuscript has been drafted by a group from the Sociedad Española de Neurocirugía (Spanish Society of Neurosurgery). MATERIAL AND METHODS Experts in the use of each one of the most-used intraoperative techniques in brain tumour surgery were presented with a description of the technique and a brief review of the literature. Indications for use, their advantages and disadvantages based on clinical experience and on what is published in the literature will be described. RESULTS The most robust intraoperative imaging technique appears to be low- and high-field magnetic resonance imaging, but this is the technique which results in the greatest expenditure. Intraoperative ultrasound navigation is portable and less expensive, but it provides poorer differentiation of high-grade tumours and is observer-dependent. The most-used fluorescence techniques are 5-aminolevulinic acid for high-grade gliomas and fluorescein, useful in lesions which rupture the blood-brain barrier. Last of all, intraoperative CT is more versatile in the neurosurgery operating theatre, but it has fewer indications in neuro-oncology surgery. CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative imaging techniques are used with increasingly greater frequency in brain tumour surgery, and the neurosurgeon should assess their possible use depending on their resources and the needs of each patient.

Abstract
PURPOSE Imaging of temporal bone and skull base acquire high resolution due to the small anatomic structures with high clinical relevance. The purpose of this study was to compare image quality of the temporal bone in standard 20 s protocol flat-panel computed tomography (FPCT) with the new time- and dose improved 10 s protocol as well as with 128 slice multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). The aim was to evaluate the new time- and dose improved 10 s protocol. METHODS 10 whole-skull preparations-20 temporal bones-were scanned with either 128 slice MDCT CT (SOMATOM Definition AS + , Siemens, Erlangen) or FPCT (AXIOM-Artis, Siemens, Erlangen) using 10 s or 20 s protocol. RESULTS We show here that overall FPCT provides significantly better image quality and improved delimitation of clinically relevant structures in the temporal bone compared to 128 slice MDCT. Especially the shorter, dose saving 10 s protocol of the FPCT is still superior to 128 slice MDCT. The 20 s FPCT protocol was only significantly superior in identification of the cochlear apical turn and can thereby be used specifically in clinical cases with pathologies in this area. CONCLUSIONS The 10 s FPCT protocol yields a significantly better image quality than MDCT in imaging finer structures of the temporal bone.

Abstract
Orbital fractures pose specific challenge in its surgical management. One of the greatest challenges is to obtain satisfactory reconstruction by correct positioning of orbital implant. Intraoperative computed tomography (CT) scan may facilitate this procedure. The aim of this study was to describe the early use of intraoperative CT in orbital fractures repair in our center. The authors assessed the revision types and rates that have occurred with this technique. With the use of pre-surgical planning, optical intraoperative navigation, and intraoperative CT, the impact of intraoperative CT on the management of 5 cases involving a total number of 14 orbital wall fractures were described. There were 6 pure orbital blowout wall fractures reconstructed, involving both medial and inferior wall of the orbit fracturing the transition zone and 8 impure orbital wall fractures in orbitozygomaticomaxillary complex fracture. 4 patients underwent primary and 1 had delayed orbital reconstruction. Intraoperative CT resulted in intraoperative orbital implant revision, following final navigation planning position, in 40% (2/5) of patients or 14% (2/14) of the fractures. In revised cases, both implant repositioning was conducted at posterior ledge of orbit. Intraoperative CT confirmed true to original reconstruction of medial wall, inferior wall and transition zone of the orbit. Two selected cases were illustrated. In conclusion, intraoperative CT allows real-time assessment of fracture reduction and immediate orbital implant revision, especially at posterior ledge. As a result, no postoperative imaging was indicated in any of the patients. Long-term follow-ups for orbital fracture patients managed with intraoperative CT is suggested.

Abstract
Trauma to the facial area accounts for a significant number of admissions to the emergency department. Diagnostic imaging is almost always required, and is critical in determining patient management. Multi‐detector computed tomography (MDCT) appears consistently in the literature as the gold‐standard imaging modality for facial bones, but results in a high radiation dose to the patient. This makes the application and advancement of dose reduction and dose optimisation methods vital. This narrative review presents a critical analysis of the literature concerning diagnostic imaging of facial bone trauma, with an emphasis on dose reduction methods for MDCT. Databases including Pubmed, Medline, Web of Science and Scopus were used to investigate this topic, with the key words: facial bone trauma, computed tomography (CT) imaging and dose reduction. Exclusion criteria included studies on nasal bone fracturing, dental imaging, elective surgeries and paediatric imaging. The literature shows overwhelming support for MDCT, given its accuracy, efficiency and ease of operation. Noise reducing reconstruction algorithms show promise as a successful method of dose reduction in facial bone imaging. Investigations of more innovative techniques also appear within the literature, including diagnostic cone‐beam CT (CBCT), intraoperative CBCT and dual‐source CT (DSCT), but further research is required to confirm their clinical value.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In order to address the pre- and perioperative need for visualization and prediction of patient-specific anatomy for surgical planning, endoscopic neurosurgeons have increasingly relied on computerized navigation devices to guide their surgical approaches. OBJECTIVE This manuscript aims to review: 1) the use of neuronavigation in endoscopic neurosurgery for pre-operative planning, 2) the intraoperative advantages of neuronavigation in endoscopic neurosurgery, and 3) the effects of navigation guidance on operative time, registration accuracy, brain shift, and avoidance of complications. Limitations of the current neuroendoscopic navigation literature will be discussed. METHODS We conducted a search using PubMed-MEDLINE; the keywords "stereotactic navigation AND endoscopic surgery" and "simulation AND endoscopic neurosurgery". 36 studies were identified that addressed the use of neuronavigation in endoscopic neurosurgery. These studies were then further analyzed for topics relevant to computerized neuroendoscopy and reviewed for the purposes of this article. CONCLUSION Three-dimensional, frameless neuronavigation systems are useful in endoscopic neurosurgery to assist in the pre-operative planning of potential trajectories and to help localize the pathology of interest. Neuronavigation appears to be accurate to < 1-2 mm without issues related to brain shift. Further work is necessary in the investigation of the effect of neuronavigation on operative time, cost, and patient-centered outcomes.

Abstract
Endonasal endoscopic sinus surgery is the standard procedure for surgery of most paranasal sinus diseases. Appropriate frame conditions provided, the respective procedures are safe and successful. These prerequisites encompass appropriate technical equipment, anatomical oriented surgical technique, proper patient selection, and individually adapted extent of surgery. The range of endonasal sinus operations has dramatically increased during the last 20 years and reaches from partial uncinectomy to pansinus surgery with extended surgery of the frontal (Draf type III), maxillary (grade 3-4, medial maxillectomy, prelacrimal approach) and sphenoid sinus. In addition there are operations outside and beyond the paranasal sinuses. The development of surgical technique is still constantly evolving. This article gives a comprehensive review on the most recent state of the art in endoscopic sinus surgery according to the literature with the following aspects: principles and fundamentals, surgical techniques, indications, outcome, postoperative care, nasal packing and stents, technical equipment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this case report, we present a novel, minimally invasive image-guided approach to drainage of a petrous apex lesion. PATIENT(S) A 34-year-old man diagnosed with a petrous apex lesion consistent with cholesterol granuloma. The granuloma was large and caused mild compression of the brainstem with associated neurologic symptoms and seizure-like activity. INTERVENTIONS Based on the anatomic location of the lesion, it was determined that the treatment plan would be to surgically drain the lesion via 2 linear paths-one after an infralabyrinthine approach and the other a subarcuate approach. Customized microstereotactic frames that mount on bone-implanted markers and constrain the drill along the desired path were used to accurately drill these desired paths and avoid damage to surrounding critical structures. After a simple mastoidectomy, the petrous apex was successfully reached without damage to vital adjacent structures by drilling the 2 linear channels using 2 custom microstereotactic frames. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Viscous brown liquid and debris was recovered by irrigating through one of the channels and suctioning through the other. RESULTS Drainage of the petrous apex was successfully performed via 2 linear channels without any complications. Custom microstereotactic frames were used to accurately drill those linear channels. Postoperative CT ensured no complications. Postoperative course of the patient was remarkable with normal hearing and normal facial nerve function. CONCLUSION We presented a successful implementation of an image-guided approach to drain petrous apex.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS A prototype system for intraoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging has been developed and augmented with real time optical tracking of a surgical drill. We hypothesize that this system provides sufficient accuracy for guidance of temporal bone surgery. STUDY DESIGN Basic research. METHODS Measurements of drill localization accuracy using CBCT imaging were obtained with a custom three-dimensional calibration object. Integrated CBCT imaging and drill tracking were prospectively evaluated on 12 cadaver temporal bones. Six inexperienced and six experienced surgeons conducted four surgical tasks: cortical mastoidectomy, posterior tympanotomy, cochleostomy, and a translabyrinthine approach to the internal auditory canal. Questionnaires provided expert feedback on tracking accuracy and system usability. RESULTS Target registration error measurements of drill tracking accuracy and precision yielded a mean of 0.76 mm, a maximum of 1.30 mm, and a standard deviation of 0.21 mm. Anatomical landmark identification tasks (e.g., facial nerve, incus, semicircular canals, cochlea) provided additional validation of system accuracy. The usability and utility of the guidance system were positively rated by both groups of surgeons, with further modifications underway to improve tracking line of sight and registration workflow. Experienced but in particular inexperienced surgeons indicated significant benefits in cases involving extensive disease, abnormal anatomy, and loss of anatomical landmarks. CONCLUSIONS The integration of intraoperative CBCT imaging with optical tracking provides sufficient accuracy to localize anatomical structures within the temporal bone using an otological drill. Future studies will explore the role of this technology in complex oncological resections, in surgery for congenital anomalies, and as a tool for teaching.
