Applications of X-Ray Imaging in Neurosurgical Instruments: A Systematic Review

Abstract

This systematic review explores the applications of X-ray imaging in neurosurgical instruments. The study focuses on the utilization of X-ray imaging technology to assist neurosurgeons during various surgical procedures. The research methodology involved the analysis of secondary data from previous studies and publications related to neurosurgery and X-ray imaging. The findings of this systematic review suggest that X-ray imaging is crucial in enhancing the accuracy and precision of neurosurgical procedures. It enables neurosurgeons to visualize complex anatomical structures in real-time, facilitating better decision-making during surgery. X-ray imaging is particularly useful in guiding the placement of instruments, identifying anatomical landmarks, and ensuring proper alignment of implants. Furthermore, the study highlights the advancements in X-ray technology, such as intraoperative CT and fluoroscopy, which provide enhanced imaging capabilities for neurosurgical procedures. These technological innovations have significantly improved the safety and efficacy of neurosurgical interventions. Overall, this systematic review underscores the importance of X-ray imaging in modern neurosurgery and emphasizes its vital role in improving patient outcomes. The results of this review add to the developing body of literature on the applications of X-ray imaging in neurosurgical instruments and give valued understanding to researchers, clinicians, and healthcare providers in the field of neurosurgery.
