Archiving
PDF Export of Results from DBS Planning
The results of the stereotactic planning for frame setting parameters can be saved in pdf file and printed before surgery. The pdf file contains all critical data: marker positions for the registration of stereotactic space, AC-PC-FALX coordinates, entry and target coordinates in stereotactic space and patient’s own anatomical space. The polar parameters can be used to set head-arc of the frame. The graphic view of target area is also added to the pdf file which can be referred as reference in post-operative consultation.

PDF Export of Results from Biopsy Planning
Beside the setting configuration of path the sampling parameters are also saved in pdf file. Moreover an imaging sequence at sampling coordinates is archived by the program.
Screen Capture into BMP File
The full screen can be saved in screen bitmap file created in patient’s folder by command: “File/Save Screenshot (BMP)”.
Archiving and Re-Display of Surgical Plan
The planning results with file path to the diagnostic sequences can be stored in an archive study file (.vts file type). This file is a compressed data series which is filled up by CranioPass. Its importance lies in that the old investigations can be recalled without data loss, keeping accuracy and can be viewed according to the original planning. The study file can be supplemented by changing planning parameters and adding updated informations.
