Automatic Trajectory Planning for Deep Brain Stimulation: A Feasibility Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
DBS for Parkinson's disease involves an extensive planning to find a suitable electrode implantation path to the selected target. We have investigated the feasibility of improving the conventional planning with an automatic calculation of possible paths in 3D. This requires the segmentation of anatomical structures. Subsequently, the paths are calculated and visualized. After selection of a suitable path, the settings for the stereotactic frame are determined. A qualitative evaluation has shown that automatic avoidance of critical structures is feasible. The participating neurosurgeons estimate the time gain to be around 30 minutes.

Multi-modal MRI analysis for automatic trajectory planning of deep brain stimulation neurosurgery
Introduction. A promising treatment for severe Parkinson disease involves the insertion of deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes via minimally invasive imageguided neurosurgery. Planning the optimal procedure requires the surgeon to find the best direct path to the subthalamic nuclei (STN) target that avoids critical brain structures (e.g. ventricles, sulci, blood vessels, motor area) to prev...
متن کاملAutomatic Computation of Electrodes Trajectory for Deep Brain Stimulation
In this paper, we propose an approach to find the optimal position of an electrode, for assisting surgeons in planning Deep Brain Stimulation. We first show how we formalized the rules governing this surgical procedure into geometric constraints. Then we explain our method, using a formal geometric solver, and a template built from 15 MRIs, used to propose a space of possible solutions and the ...
متن کاملA surgeon specific automatic path planning algorithm for deep brain stimulation
In deep brain stimulation surgeries, stimulating electrodes are placed at specific targets in the deep brain to treat neurological disorders. Reaching these targets safely requires avoiding critical structures in the brain. Meticulous planning is required to find a safe path from the cortical surface to the intended target. Choosing a trajectory automatically is difficult because there is littl...
متن کاملCan combined CT and TOF-MRI assist in neuro- anatomical surgery planning in small animal models?
Aims Deep brain stimulation (DBS) for neurological and psychiatric disorders like Parkinson’s disease or major depression disorder requires the implantation of electrodes for the application of electrical pulses in deep brain anatomical locations. For such procedures, preoperative or intra-operative multi-modality brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography angiography (CTA) i...
متن کاملO10: Deep Brain Stimulation and Psychiatry
The use of deep brain stimulation in psychiatric disorders has received great interest owing to the small risk of the operation, the reversible nature of the technique, and the possibility of optimizing treatment postoperatively. Currently deep brain stimulation in psychiatry is investigated for obsessive-compulsive disorder, Gilles de la Tourette’s syndrome and major depression. This presentat...
