Abstract

While removing bone tissue of the mastoid, the facial nerve is at risk of being injured. In this contribution a model for nerve visualization in preoperative image data based on intraoperatively gained EMG signals is proposed. A neuro monitor can assist the surgeon locating and preserving the nerve. With the proposed model gained EMG signals can be spatially related to the patient resp. the image data. During navigation the detected nerve course will be visualized and hence permanently available for assessing the situs.
