Preliminary study on Sina (Sina Intraoperative Neurosurgical Assist) APP assisted localization of supratentorial lesions by smart phone

摘要

This article is aimed at investigating the use of smart phone software Sina in the localization of supratentorial lesions, finding the error between Sina method and neuronavigation, and identifying the reliability of the new method. Neuronavigation and Sina measurement were used to locate the lesion in the patients whose lesion lengths are between 2 cm and 6 cm. The reference point was the center of the lesion. We found the error of Sina method is 13.6 +/- 0.55 mm comparing with neuronavigation, so the Sina method still cannot replace the localization method of the neuronavigation system. However, in practical clinical work, with the help of the new method, the lesion can be located more precisely and easily. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
