Towards Digital Atlas and MRA-Guided, Intraoperative MRI-Registered Robotic Deep Brain Therapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Traditional DBS, based a deep brain atlas in printed form, places restrictions on the choice of approach and planning involves considerable mental computation. Recent work in computer-guided DBS exploits one or two of the following: a digital brain atlas [1]; an electrophysiological (EP) database [2]; a model of venous and arterial structures [3]; and intraoperative MRI (ioMRI) guidance [4]. To date, no method combines all of these. This paper presents on-going work in deep brain therapy, spanning both treatment planning and surgical robotics. A CAD representation of the robot, a sagittal view of the digital atlas, and rendered EP data appear in Fig.1.

Generating the synthetic CT (sCT) and synthetic MR (sMR: sT1w/sT2w) images of the brain using atlas based method
Introduction: Radiation therapy planning (RTP) is one of the clinical applications in which both CT scan and MRI are used. MR and CT images are applied to determine the target volume and calculation of dose distribution, respectively. In addition, using two imaging modalities increases the department workload and cost. In this study, an algorithm was presented to create synthet...

Introduction: Nowadays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in combination with computed-tomography (CT) is increasingly being used in radiation therapy planning. MR and CT images are applied to determine the target volume and calculate dose distribution, respectively. Since the use of these two imaging modalities causes registration uncertainty and increases department w...

Background & Aim: DBS (deep brain stimulation) is a new and successful technique in treatment of symptoms of Parkinsonism especially after drug resistance. Research in this field is mostly designed for evolution of this technique. The present study aimed at evaluating the relationship between the angle formed in midsagittal and STN (sub-thalamic nucleus) axis line and recording l...

BACKGROUND Accurate localization of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is critical to the success of deep brain stimulation surgery for Parkinson disease. Recent developments in high-field-strength magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have made it possible to visualize the STN in greater detail. However, the relationship of the MR-visualized STN to the anatomic, electrophysiological, or atlas-predicted ...
متن کاملValidating atlas-guided DOT: A comparison of diffuse optical tomography informed by atlas and subject-specific anatomies
We describe the validation of an anatomical brain atlas approach to the analysis of diffuse optical tomography (DOT). Using MRI data from 32 subjects, we compare the diffuse optical images of simulated cortical activation reconstructed using a registered atlas with those obtained using a subject's true anatomy. The error in localization of the simulated cortical activations when using a registe...
