Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Manual alignment: highly accurate alignment but required experienced operators
- Automatic registration: faster and more practical for bedside use, despite challenges in maintaining head stage positioning
- Real-time 3D visualization of intracranial structures, including non-conventional planes such as coronal views
Observational data: associations, not effects.
