Neurosurgery has become a very busy service in major hospitals worldwide. Surgeries such as tumor resections, complex instrumented spine surgeries, DBS electrodes, and placement of catheters and shunts are just few of the more common surgeries. Even the most minor neurosurgery carries a high risk of surgical morbidity and mortality. Patients undergo an extensive pre and post neuroimaging workup, often consisting of many modalities. However, there is a lack of available neuroimaging during these surgeries. Without real-time imaging, the surgeon has limited capability to detect important anatomical and physical changes during neurosurgery caused by phenomena such as brain shift, patient movement, tissue resection, and blood and other fluids. It is unfortunate that a large number of surgeries are unsuccessful and require additional procedures due to a lack of real-time imaging. Portable intraoperative CT allows surgeons to image the brain in real time, assess the success of the surgical procedure, and identify and ameliorate complications when they arise allowing surgeons to make good quality assurance decisions prior to surgical completion.

Although the motor symptoms of cerebellar ataxia (CA) are the most well-known, numerous non-motor symptoms have also been reported [1]. Irregular actions and the inability to suppress urges are hallmarks of the psychiatric disorders known as impulse control disorders (ICDs). A well-known area of medical specialization is neurological specialization [2]. The brain instructs the body on how to respond to events. Using this research, we can pinpoint the activity issue and determine the nervous system's capacity. A disruption in a person's activity rhythm may result in neurological diseases. Brain, spine and nerve damage are the focus of neurosurgery. Our specialists use neurosurgery to treat neurological diseases. Finding activity patterns [3] in the medical field is difficult. We must observe the patient's motions in order to pinpoint the condition [4]. Issue identification and pinpointing the issue is very difficult in the early stage of neuro disease. A patient's death could occur due to any failure in their medical care.
