Transparency Market Research Reports included a detailed market survey and analysis trends on "Image Guided Surgery Market". This report also includes more info about basic overview of the industry including definitions, applications and global market industry structure. Image guided surgery makes use of preoperative images to precisely guide surgical instruments by correlating the operative field. The image guidance systems also help in seamless procedure planning, thus reducing chances of error and also minimizing procedure time. With image guided systems, overall productivity is increased and being minimally invasive, allows quick recovery and shorter hospital stay. The technique was initially developed for neurosurgeries, which is one of the most critical procedures. ENT surgeries still remain the main area of application of image guided surgery systems. Major indications where image guided surgery can be performed are sinus surgery, and treatment of diseases which critical areas of cerebrum where chances of error must be minimum. Oncology is a major area of application of image guided surgery, where various methods are tried and tested for efficient treatment. With the development of technology and optimization of procedures, image guided surgery is expected to be the main stay for neurological surgeries, especially in treatment of brain tumor.

Ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed topography (CT) are majorly applied in image guidance systems. Fluorescence image guided surgery is also becoming popular, as it cost effective as compared to other devices, but poor depth penetration is a restraint. Fluorescent dyes are used to stain the abnormal tissues and light with different filters is used for visualization. Indocyanine green and methylene blue are commonly used dyes for fluorescence image guided surgery. This technology has been further refined by...
