About this trial
This study is a prospective observational study designed to evaluate the effectiveness of Brainlab's Mixed Reality Viewer in enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of preoperative craniotomy planning. The study will be conducted at a single site with two enrollment groups. Group 1 has a target enrollment of 38 subjects. Group 2 has a target enrollment of 16 subjects. By observing the device's use during standard surgical procedures, we can accurately measure its impact on incision planning accuracy, time efficiency, and overall ease of use compared to traditional neuronavigation systems. This design allows for the collection of both quantitative and qualitative data, providing a robust assessment of the Mixed Reality Viewer's potential to enhance surgical outcome
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Diagnosis: Patients diagnosed with a brain tumor requiring surgical intervention.
Age: Adults aged 18 years and older.
Consent: Patients who are able to provide written informed consent and are willing to comply with study procedures.
Preoperative Imaging: Patients who have undergone standard of care preoperative imaging (e.g., MRI, CT) suitable for use with the Brainlab Mixed Reality Viewer.
Disqualifiers
Inability to Provide Informed Consent: Subject is unable to provide written informed consent due to cognitive impairment, language barriers, or other reasons that preclude them from understanding the study's requirements.
Emergency Surgery: Subject requires emergency craniotomy where there is insufficient time to perform preoperative planning with the Mixed Reality Viewer.
Concurrent Participation in Other Clinical Trials: Subject is currently enrolled in another clinical trial that could interfere with the results of this study or place additional burdens on the subject.
Unstable Clinical Condition: Subject has a medical condition that is unstable or severe enough to preclude safe participation in the study, as determined by the investigator (e.g., severe cardiac or respiratory conditions).
