Optimizing the Workflow of Superficial Temporal Artery Mapping in Extracranial-Intracranial Bypass Surgery Using Mixed Reality: A Proof-of-Concept Study
MR provides comparable STA mapping accuracy to Doppler while reducing the mapping time. These findings suggest that the planned incision is unlikely to differ, providing early evidence for the feasibility of MR-guided mapping for EC-IC bypass procedures.
