Abstract
An analysis of usability aspects and accuracy for three different methods of neurosurgical intervention—stereotaxy, neuro-navigation, and robotic assistance—was accomplished in a detailed study including clinicians with different experience levels. Accuracy tests with a specially designed phantom were performed under clinical conditions according to EN ISO 9283. Test scenarios were designed according to a realistic clinical work-flow for the brain biopsy process. This paper presents the results of the accuracy evaluation as well as a discussion of the results and further steps.
