Impact

CBH scientists supported acquiring cutting-edge multimodal MRI, including anatomical, diffusion, and functional scans, vital for intraoperative navigation in the first awake tumor resection surgery in the UAE. Their expertise ensured seamless integration of these scans, contributing to the success of the first awake tumor resection surgery at CCAD. This milestone underscores CBH’s commitment to supporting advanced neurosurgical techniques, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes and setting new benchmarks in neurosurgical care within the UAE.

CBH scientists, in collaboration with the Neuroscience of Language Lab, have pioneered functional MRI (fMRI) studies focused on epilepsy and surgical planning at CCAD. Their groundbreaking work includes the development of fMRI tasks in Arabic language, tailored specifically for language testing during awake surgeries. Through meticulous validation conducted intraoperatively, these tasks ensure precise localization of language function, aiding neurosurgeons in planning and executing surgeries with unparalleled accuracy.

CBH scientists routinely support clinicians in analyzing advanced MRI modalities using machine learning and AI techniques. By leveraging these cutting-edge technologies, they provide clinicians with access to thousands of data points and insights, facilitating comprehensive and accurate interpretation of brain MRI scans. This assistance is further enhanced through the implementation of intuitive reporting mechanisms, ensuring that clinicians can easily extract valuable information to inform patient care decisions.

CBH harnesses the power of 3D perception and Virtual Reality (VR) to revolutionize educational experiences for both students and physicians, particularly in understanding intricate brain anatomy. This innovative approach not only enhances comprehension but also fosters deeper engagement and retention of knowledge, ultimately empowering learners to excel in their understanding of neuroanatomy and clinical practice.
