Summary

This study tests whether mixed reality glasses can help surgeons plan incisions for brain tumor removal more accurately and quickly than current methods. About 54 adults needing brain surgery will be observed as surgeons use the device during standard care. The goal is to see if the technology improves planning precision and saves time.
