Summary

This study tested a new 3D scanner to measure how the brain shifts during surgery for epilepsy or tumor removal. Only one person took part before the study was stopped. The goal was to see if the scanner could accurately track brain surface changes over time, which could help surgeons be more precise.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female ≥ 6 years of age at Visit 1. 2. Clinically planned for craniotomy, including for malignant tumors, whether awake or under general anesthesia. 3. Able to provide written informed consent (and assent when applicable) - by subject or subject's legal representative - and agrees to comply with the requirements of the study. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Language problems that would prevent from properly understanding instructions. 2. Requirement of an interpreter. 3. Patients who are excluded from consideration for the clinical operation are therefore excluded from the research study. 4. Special populations: pregnant women, prisoners.
