Intraoperatively Placed Markers for Post-surgical Imaging

Invention Novelty: A dissolvable polymer implant impregnated with contrast agent to improve anchoring with minimal tissue displacement.Value Proposition:The main limitation of current neuronavigation systems is that they rely on preoperative images for accurate navigation. The brain is susceptible to a phenomenon called brainshift due to CSF leakage...
