Your brain is unique
Why would surgeons want to crowd their view with extra images?
'I work on the brain, which has a complex surface - like hills and valleys - that is different for every person. The differences get even more striking when a tumour pushes the structures around.
'So the anatomical and functional information from regular MRI scans, functional MRI scans and CT scans of a particular patient's brain is really important for planning their operation and for navigating through their brain during surgery.' Pierre Jannin, computer-assisted surgery expert
