Title: Michal Klimont and Machine-Learning-Assisted Neurosurgical Imaging.

Introduction

Michal Klimont is an inventor associated with Poznań, Poland, and Inteneural Networks Inc. His work includes a patented method for creating an intraoperative three-dimensional brain model and assessing brain shift during neurosurgery.

Latest Patents

Klimont is associated with 1 patent, titled “Method and Apparatus for Registering a Neurosurgical Patient and Determining Brain Shift During Surgery Using Machine Learning and Stereooptical Three-Dimensional Depth Camera with a Surface-Mapping System.”

The invention describes a process for generating an updated 3D brain model during an operation. Before surgery, preoperative 3D models of the patient’s brain and face are converted into point clouds. After the skull is opened, the system matches an intraoperative face point cloud with the preoperative face point cloud to calculate a transformation. It applies that transformation to the intraoperative brain point cloud, compares the result with the preoperative brain point cloud to determine brain shift, and uses that shift to generate an intraoperative 3D brain model.

Career Highlights

Klimont’s listed patent focuses on combining 3D imaging, surface mapping, and machine learning to support neurosurgical registration and brain-shift assessment. The approach is designed to update a preoperative brain model using information captured during surgery.

Collaborations

Klimont is associated with Inteneural Networks Inc. His listed coworkers include Marek Kraft and Mikolaj Pawlak.

Conclusion

Michal Klimont’s patent addresses a practical challenge in neurosurgery by describing how intraoperative imaging can help account for brain movement and produce an updated 3D brain model.
