Core Tip Herein, the authors describe the development and validation of a novel research method that allows quantification of the essential anatomical features of a neurosurgical approach and real-time rendering of its surgical volume. The measurements of ApproachViewer in a phantom with simulated approaches were noted to be largely homogeneous and comparable with those of other research methods. The authors further demonstrated the actual application of ApproachViewer in anatomical dissections to elaborate the advantages of real time 3D rendering and quantification. ApproachViewer provides a good alternative solution for fast 3D rendering and post-dissection analyses in a preclinical setting.
