Neuronavigation Technology in India: A ray of hope for overseas patients
Online, June 5, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Neuronavigation Technology is recognized as the next evolutionary step of stereotactic surgery, a set of techniques that dates back to the early 1900's and that gained popularity during the 1940's, particularly in Germany, France and the U.S., with the development of surgery for the treatment of movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease and dystonias. Earlier the purpose of Neuronavigation technology was to create a mathematical model describing a proposed coordinate system for the space within a closed structure, e.g., the skull. This "fiducial spatial coordinate system" uses fiduciary markers as a reference to describe with high accuracy the position of specific structures within this arbitrarily defined space.
The surgeon then refers to that data in order to target particular structures within the brain. This technology of Neuronavigation was boosted by the collection of data on human anatomy in "stereotactic atlases", expanding the quantitatively defined "targets" that could be readily used in surgery. Finally, the advent of modern neuro-imaging technologies such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-along with the ever-increasing capabilities of digitalization, computer-graphic modeling and accelerated manipulation of data through complex mathematical algorithms via robust computer technologies-made possible the real-time quantitative spatial fusion of images of the patient's brain with the created "fiducial coordinate system" for the purpose of guiding the surgeon's instrument or probe to a selected target. In this way the observations done via highly sophisticated neuro-imaging technologies (CT, MRI, angiography) are related to the actual patient during surgery. Neuronavigational technology can be used in a variety of cases, including tumor removal, aneurysm repair, cyst removal or spine repair using pins or screws.
Neuronavigation Technology in India comes in hospitals at cities like Mumbai, Chennai and Hyderabad and is done by the best neuro surgeons who are trained from all over the world. Neurology centers of India are achieving good records in providing Neuronavigation Technological treatment to national as well as International patients. The world-renowned Medical facilities in India have convinced the global patients to avail their Neuronavigation in India and other medical treatments and surgeries due to affordable pricelists. These medical treatments and surgeries are performed with the advanced technology and some of the leading experienced neurosurgeons in the world.
