Area of Science:

Neurosurgery
Medical Imaging
Biomedical Engineering

Background:

Accurate visualization of subdural electrodes is critical for epilepsy surgery planning.
Electrode dislocation after implantation poses challenges for surgical accuracy.
Neurosurgeons require reliable methods to assess electrode positions.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a novel method for accurate subdural electrode localization.
To assess the accuracy of a new visualization technique using a physical head phantom.
To create a realistic phantom for simulating electrode placement and dislocation scenarios.

Main Methods:

Developed a physical head phantom with realistic anatomical structures (skull, brain, CSF).
Created a method projecting segmented electrodes from pre-implantation CT onto post-implantation MRI data.
Evaluated the method's accuracy by simulating electrode displacement within the phantom.

Main Results:

The developed electrode visualization tool demonstrated accurate localization.
Image contrasts in CT and MRI phantom data mimicked those in patient datasets.
The phantom successfully replicated complex patient data and deformation scenarios.

Conclusions:

The novel visualization method is accurate for subdural electrode localization.
The physical head phantom is a suitable tool for validating neuroimaging techniques.
This approach can improve accuracy in epilepsy surgery planning and post-operative assessment.
