Minimally invasive endonasal transsphenoidal surgery involves grinding away sphenoidal bone in the nasal cavity to reach the pituitary tumors. The procedure carries serious risk of injury to the carotid arteries. Muyinatu Bell, a postdoctoral fellow in the LCSR, recently received the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB)’s prestigious Pathway to Independence Award to […]
Mehran Armand was Co-PI of the team that developed the CAPE System: “Computer-Assisted Craniomaxillofacial Surgery” which was recently recognized as a 2015 TechConnect Innovation Awardee. The technology is a novel computer-assisted surgical planning and intra-operative navigation system for use in craniofacial surgery and face-jaw-teeth transplantation. This system offers many advantages, including real-time cephalometric analysis and […]
