Özet

Advanced transluminal neurovascular navigation is an indispensable image-guided method that allows for real-time navigation of endovascular material in critical neurovascular settings. Thus far, it has been primarily based on 2D and 3D angiography, burdening the patient with a relatively high level of iodinated contrast. However, in the patients with renal insufficiency, this method is no longer tolerable due to the contrast load. The authors present a novel image guidance technique based on periprocedural fluoroscopic images fused with a preinterventionally acquired MRI data set. The technique is illustrated in a case in which the fused image combination was used for endovascular treatment of a giant cerebral aneurysm. (http://thejns.org/doi/abs/10.3171/2012.11.JNS111355)
