Thanks to scientific and technological advances in many parallel fields, medical procedures are rapidly evolving towards solutions which are less invasive and more effective. In the previous decades, information processing in diagnostic imaging provided many solutions to physicians in particular within radiology, neurology, cardiology, nuclear medicine and radiation therapy departments. In the last decade, progress in computer technology, imaging and mechatronics has allowed computer-assisted intervention (CAI) systems and solutions to penetrate the intervention and operating rooms. CAI's...

Ce document est la these qui a ete presentee par l'auteur pour obtenir le diplome d'Habilitation a Diriger les Recherches de l'Universite de Rennes 1. Il presente le domaine de la neurochirurgie guidee par l'image, ce qui a ete realise a ce jour, les enjeux du domaine et les travaux realises par l'auteur dans ce domaine. Il consiste en une vision exhaustive et didactique qui montre bien comment les nouvelles technologies de l'information, et notamment l'imagerie medicale, ont fait evoluer la pratique neurochirurgicale. Pour permettre une meilleure resection des lesions tout en respectant au...
