Computer-Assisted Neurosurgery

Computer-Assisted Neurosurgery edited by Norihiko Tamaki, Kazumasa Ehara.

Computer technology has developed remarkably in the field of neurosurgery during the past 10 to 20 years. Great achievements have been made recently in neuroimaging techniques and computer technology for neuronavigation, from frameless, armless systems to robotic microscopes. Contained in the presen...
