What is Learning Curve Associated with ClearPoint Neuronavigation System: A Case Series about?
## Background The ClearPoint neuronavigation system affords real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guidance during stereotactic procedures. While such information confers potential clinical benefits, additional operative time may be needed. ## Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of procedural time associated with ClearPoint Stereotaxis, with hypothesis that this procedural time is comparable with that associated with frame-based biopsy. ## Results Of the 52 patients evaluated, the total procedural time for ClearPoint stereotactic biopsy averaged 150.0 (±40.4) minutes, of which 111.5 (±16.5) minutes were dedicated to real-time MRI acquisition and trajectory adjustment. This procedural time is within the range of those reported for frame-based needle biopsies. Approximately 5 minutes of the procedural time is related to the mounting of the MRI-compatible stereotactic frame. Based on the procedural time, we estimate that four cases are required in the learning curve to achieve this efficiency. Efficient algorithms for distortion corrections and isocenter localization are keys to ClearPoint stereotaxis. Routine quality assurance/control after each MRI software update and
