Abstract
Intracerebral cell transplantation is being pursued as a treatment for many neurological diseases, and effective cell delivery is critical for clinical success. To facilitate intracerebral cell transplantation at the scale and complexity of the human brain, we developed a platform technology that enables radially branched deployment (RBD) of cells to multiple target locations at variable radial distances and depths along the initial brain penetration tract with real-time interventional magnetic resonance image (iMRI) guidance. iMRI-guided RBD functioned as an "add-on" to standard neurosurgical and imaging workflows, and procedures were performed in a commonly available clinical MRI scanner. Multiple deposits of super paramagnetic iron oxide beads were safely delivered to the striatum of live swine, and distribution to the entire putamen was achieved via a single cannula insertion in human cadaveric heads. Human embryonic stem cell-derived dopaminergic neurons were biocompatible with the iMRI-guided RBD platform and successfully delivered with iMRI guidance into the swine striatum. Thus, iMRI-guided RBD overcomes some of the technical limitations inherent to the use of straight cannulas and standard stereotactic targeting. This platform technology could have a major impact on the clinical translation of a wide range of cell therapeutics for the treatment of many neurological diseases.

Abstract
Neuronavigation has become an ubiquitous tool in the surgical management of brain tumors. This review describes the use and limitations of current neuronavigational systems for brain tumor biopsy and resection. Methods for integrating intraoperative imaging into neuronavigational datasets developed to address the diminishing accuracy of positional information that occurs over the course of brain tumor resection are discussed. In addition, the process of integration of functional MRI and tractography into navigational models is reviewed. Finally, emerging concepts and future challenges relating to the development and implementation of experimental imaging technologies in the navigational environment are explored.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deep brain stimulation electrode placement with interventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has previously been reported using a commercially available skull-mounted aiming device (Medtronic Nexframe MR) and native MRI scanner software. This first-generation method has technical limitations that are inherent to the hardware and software used. A novel system (SurgiVision ClearPoint) consisting of an aiming device (SMARTFrame) and software has been developed specifically for interventional MRI, including deep brain stimulation. OBJECTIVE To report a series of phantom and cadaver tests performed to determine the capability, preliminary accuracy, and workflow of the system. METHODS Eighteen experiments using a water phantom were used to determine the predictive accuracy of the software. Sixteen experiments using a gelatin-filled skull phantom were used to determine targeting accuracy of the aiming device. Six procedures in 3 cadaver heads were performed to compare the workflow and accuracy of ClearPoint with Nexframe MR. RESULTS Software prediction experiments showed an average error of 0.9 ± 0.5 mm in magnitude in pitch and roll (mean pitch error, -0.2 ± 0.7 mm; mean roll error, 0.2 ± 0.7 mm) and an average error of 0.7 ± 0.3 mm in X-Y translation with a slight anterior (0.5 ± 0.3 mm) and lateral (0.4 ± 0.3 mm) bias. Targeting accuracy experiments showed an average radial error of 0.5 ± 0.3 mm. Cadaver experiments showed a radial error of 0.2 ± 0.1 mm with the ClearPoint system (average procedure time, 88 ± 14 minutes) vs 0.6 ± 0.2 mm with the Nexframe MR (average procedure time, 92 ± 12 minutes). CONCLUSION This novel system provides the submillimetric accuracy required for stereotactic interventions, including deep brain stimulation placement. It also overcomes technical limitations inherent in the first-generation interventional MRI system.

Abstract
Concentric tube robots have the potential to enable new minimally invasive surgical procedures by curving around anatomical obstacles to reach difficult-to-reach sites in body cavities. Planning motions for these devices is challenging in part due to their complex kinematics; concentric tube robots are composed of thin, pre-curved, telescoping tubes that can achieve a variety of shapes via extension and rotation of each of their constituent tubes. We introduce a new motion planner to maneuver these devices to clinical targets while minimizing the probability of colliding with anatomical obstacles. Unlike prior planners for these devices, we more accurately model device shape using mechanics-based models that consider torsional interaction between the tubes. We also account for the effects of uncertainty in actuation and predicted device shape. We integrate these models with a sampling-based approach based on the Rapidly-Exploring Roadmap to guarantee finding optimal plans as computation time is allowed to increase. We demonstrate our motion planner in simulation using a variety of evaluation scenarios including an anatomy-based neurosurgery case that requires maneuvering to a difficult-to-reach brain tumor at the skull base.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS A skull-mounted aiming device and integrated software platform has been developed for MRI-guided neurological interventions. In anticipation of upcoming gene therapy clinical trials, we adapted this device for real-time convection-enhanced delivery of therapeutics via a custom-designed infusion cannula. The targeting accuracy of this delivery system and the performance of the infusion cannula were validated in nonhuman primates. METHODS Infusions of gadoteridol were delivered to multiple brain targets and the targeting error was determined for each cannula placement. Cannula performance was assessed by analyzing gadoteridol distributions and by histological analysis of tissue damage. RESULTS The average targeting error for all targets (n = 11) was 0.8 mm (95% CI = 0.14). For clinically relevant volumes, the distribution volume of gadoteridol increased as a linear function (R(2) = 0.97) of the infusion volume (average slope = 3.30, 95% CI = 0.2). No infusions in any target produced occlusion, cannula reflux or leakage from adjacent tracts, and no signs of unexpected tissue damage were observed. CONCLUSIONS This integrated delivery platform allows real-time convection-enhanced delivery to be performed with a high level of precision, predictability and safety. This approach may improve the success rate for clinical trials involving intracerebral drug delivery by direct infusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Flat-panel cone-beam computed tomography (FP-CBCT) has recently been introduced as a clinical feature in neuroangiography radiographic C-arm systems. OBJECTIVE To introduce a method of positioning a surgical tool such as a needle or ablation probe within a target specified by intraoperative FP-CBCT scanning. METHODS Two human cadaver and 2 porcine cadaver heads were injected with a mixture of silicone and contrast agent to simulate a contrast-enhanced tumor. Preoperative imaging was performed using a standard 1.5-T magnetic resonance imaging scanner. Intraoperative imaging was used to define the needle trajectory on a GE Innova 4100 flat panel-based neuroangiography C-arm system. RESULTS Using a combination of FP-CBCT and fluoroscopy, a needle was successfully positioned within each of the simulated contrast-enhanced tumors, as verified by subsequent FP-CBCT scans. CONCLUSIONS This proof-of-concept study demonstrates the potential utility of combining FP-CBCT scanning with fluoroscopy to position surgical tools when stereotactic devices and image-guided surgery systems are not available. However, further work is required to fully characterize the precision and accuracy of the method in a variety of realistic surgical sites.

Abstract
During in vivo intracerebral infusions, the ability to perform accurate targeting towards a 3D-specific point allows control of the anatomical variable and identification of the effects of variations in other factors. Intraoperative MRI navigation systems are currently being used in the clinic, yet their use in nonhuman primates and MRI monitoring of intracerebral infusions has not been reported. In this study rhesus monkeys were placed in a MRI-compatible stereotaxic frame. T1 MRIs in the three planes were obtained in a 3.0T GE scanner to identify the target and plan the trajectory to ventral postcommisural putamen. A craniotomy was performed under sterile surgical conditions at the trajectory entry point. A modified MRI-compatible trajectory guide base (Medtronic Inc.) was secured above the cranial opening and the alignment stem applied. Scans were taken to define the position of the alignment stem. When the projection of the catheter in the three planes matched the desired trajectory to the target, the base was locked in position. A catheter replaced the alignment stem and was slowly introduced to the final target structure. Additional scans were performed to confirm trajectory and during the infusion of a solution of gadoteridol (ProHance, Bracco Diagnostics; 2 mM/L) and bromophenol blue (0.16 mg/ml) in saline. Monitoring of the pressure in the infusion lines was performed using pressure monitoring and infusion pump controller system (Engineering Resources Group Inc.) in combination with a MRI-compatible infusion pump (Harvard). MRI during infusion confirmed successful targeting and matched postmortem visualization of bromophenol blue. Assessment of the accuracy of the targeting revealed an overall 3D mean ± SD distance error of 1.2 ± 0.6 mm and angular distance error of 0.9 ± 0.5 mm. Our results in nonhuman primates confirm the accuracy of intraoperative MRI intracerebral navigation combined with an adaptable, pivot point-based targeting system and validates its use for preclinical intracerebral procedures.

Abstract
Surgery for dystonia has a history stretching back for centuries including myotomy and other procedures on the musculoskeletal system. In the last century lesional procedures, mainly involving the pallidum became popular. More recently, with the advent of deep brain stimulation, bilateral medial pallidal stimulation has become commonplace. This review describes the issues with patient selection, technical aspects of implantation and effects as well as complications of the technique. Some of the rarer types of dystonia that have also been treated with DBS are also described.

Abstract
Interventional MRI (iMRI) holds great promise for optimally guiding and monitoring restorative and functional neurosurgical procedures. This technology has already been used to guide ablative therapies and insert deep brain stimulation electrodes, and many future applications are envisioned. An optimized software interface is crucial for efficiently integrating the imaging data acquired during these procedures. MR systems are largely dedicated to image prescription and acquisition, whereas neuronavigation systems typically operate with previously acquired static data. An optimal software interface for iMRI requires fusion of many of the capabilities offered by these individual devices and further requires the development of tools to handle the integration and presentation of dynamically updated data.
