Abstract

Our purpose was to describe a technique for simulating the surgical view of ruptured intracranial aneurysms, using volume-rendering techniques in spiral computed tomography (CT) angiography data. The 3D (three-dimensional) rendered images were assessed by a team consisted of four radiologists, one neurosurgeon and one medical physicist. The resultant ‘surgical view’ image was standardized in space using a three-dimensional coordinate system, which allowed for its reproduction in the operating theatre. The surgical views are a potentially useful tool for the surgical planning of intracranial aneurysms.
