Neurovascular compression syndromes are caused by a path- ological contact between cranial nerves and vascular structures at the surface of the brainstem. Aiming at improved pre-operative analysis of the target structures, we propose calculating distance flelds to provide quantitative information of the important nerve-vessel contacts. Further- more, we suggest reconstructing polygonal models for the nerves and vessels. Color-coding with the respective distance information is used for enhanced visualization. Overall, our new strategy contributes to a signiflcantly improved clinical understanding. |
