Let me tell you, we’ve come up with something truly incredible, something that’s going to change the game in brain surgery. It’s a novel method for making sure the patient and the images they need during surgery match up perfectly. And how do we do it? We use something called Expected Appearances. We’re ahead of the curve, folks. We take the images before the surgery and create what the surgeon expects to see through their microscope. It’s like we’re predicting the future, and it’s fantastic.
Now, here’s where it gets really smart. We make sure the camera looking inside your head matches these predicted images. No more guessing. This means even if the live images are blurry or distorted, we’ve got it covered. It’s all done before the surgery even starts, making everything smoother and more accurate. And let me tell you, when it comes to brain surgery, you want accuracy.
We didn’t just dream this up and hope for the best. No, we tested it. We tried it out with synthetic data and looked back at 6 real cases. And guess what? It was a huge success. We’re not just doing well; we’re setting new standards. This method is better than anything else out there. It’s going to make brain surgery safer and more effective. We’re leading the way, folks, and that’s something to be proud of.
