This study introduces an automated method for planning deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery by identifying targets and trajectories. The technique demonstrated high accuracy, closely matching expert neurosurgeon plans for subthalamic nucleus DBS procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Neuroscience

Background:

  • Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a crucial treatment for neurological disorders.
  • Accurate surgical planning is essential for effective DBS procedures.
  • Current planning methods rely heavily on surgeon expertise.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an automated technique for surgical target and trajectory identification in DBS planning.
  • To integrate probabilistic functional maps into a neurosurgical navigation system.
  • To compare automated planning with expert neurosurgeon planning for subthalamic nucleus DBS.

Main Methods:

  • Constructed probabilistic functional maps using population-based stimulating field data and intra-operative electrophysiology.

  • Integrated these maps into a neurosurgical visualization and navigation system.
  • Compared automated plans with surgeon-defined plans in 10 subthalamic nucleus DBS cases.

    • Main Results:

    • The automated method achieved an average target location displacement of 1.82mm (SD 0.77mm) compared to surgeon plans.
    • Differences in surgical trajectories were 3.1 degrees (lateral-to-medial) and 2.3 degrees (anterior-to-posterior).
    • Preliminary studies show high concordance between automated and expert surgical plans.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed automated technique shows promise for accurate and efficient DBS surgical planning.
    • Probabilistic functional maps can enhance neurosurgical visualization and navigation systems.
    • This approach has the potential to improve DBS procedure outcomes by standardizing surgical targeting.
