Network-based Neurosurgery

Networks.
Not just tracts.

The literature is now clear. Networks Matter.

Now, these can be easily visualized during pre-surgical planning for every patient.

Network-based neurosurgery

In pursuit of optimal onco-functional balance

To save brain function and avoid post-operative deficits, it's important to preserve brain networks. And to get started, one needs to know where to look. It's with this premise in mind that we've developed our software for neurosurgeons: QUICKTOME.

The technology powering Personalized Brain Maps


Neurosurgery in the Digital Age

Our cloud-based technology directly connects to your institution's network via a secure and anonymized integration and powers consistent and automated brain mapping. Network-based neurosurgery is only a few clicks away.

Brain Maps

A new approach to tractography

With the use of the constrained spherical deconvolution (CSD) method, we are now capable of modelling multiple tracts crossing the same region, a phenomenon present in 70% - 90% of white matter.

 

How we build personalized brain maps

With the use of a technique called structural connectivity atlasing (SCA) - which is based on machine learning - we can now determine the location of parcels based on their connections
