Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Anatomy

Background:

  • The subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a critical target in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery.
  • Accurate STN localization is crucial for successful surgical outcomes.
  • A digitalized STN atlas based on stereotactic MRI enhances anatomical precision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate the 3D target location of the STN in stereotactic space.
  • Construct a digitalized STN atlas for visualization on stereotactic MRI.
  • Provide clinical guidance for precise STN anatomical localization.

Main Methods:

  • 120 healthy individuals underwent 1.5 Tesla MRI with 1-mm slices.
  • 3D reconstruction of the STN was performed using identification, segmentation, and extraction.
  • Data were acquired in standard stereotactic space.

Main Results:

  • Significant correlations found between STN coordinates and age.
  • Left STN volume was larger than the right; volume negatively correlated with age.
  • 3D reconstruction provided a realistic, rotatable, and zoomable visualization of STN morphology.

Conclusions:

  • Individual brain atlases based on stereotactic MRI are feasible for STN visualization.
  • Further development of automated software for segmentation, extraction, and registration is needed.
