In this Wave of Discovery, we spotlight a transformative journey in neurosurgery: the evolution of imaging. Inspired by Roentgen's discovery of X-rays in 1895, pioneers like Walter Dandy, António Moniz, Lars Leksell and Sir Godfrey Hounsfield envisioned the potential of linking imaging with precise brain and spine localization. Early breakthroughs, such as intraoperative lateral radiography in the 1970s, laid the groundwork for advancements like CT-based navigation, 3D optical systems and today’s robot-assisted surgery. Their ingenuity revolutionized patient care and continues to shape the tools neurosurgeons rely on today. https://lnkd.in/gGUCKvZj #AANSRippleEffect Jacques Morcos
