Brain Imaging

Brain Imaging

Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic...

Area of Science:

Neurosurgery
Medical Imaging
Data Management

Background:

Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) is crucial for localizing eloquent brain areas before neurosurgery.
Existing nTMS studies lacked standardized archiving and file transfer protocols.
This deficiency hindered data security and efficient presurgical planning.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish a standardized protocol for transferring nTMS results and medical assessments.
To improve data security and facilitate presurgical planning for neurosurgical procedures.
To optimize the workflow for handling nTMS data.

Main Methods:

Leveraged existing hospital Radiology Department infrastructure.
Configured hospital information systems and networks for secure communication and archiving.
Developed in-house software with a graphical user interface for file manipulation, transfer, and annotation.

Main Results:

Successfully implemented and applied the protocol in ten patient studies.
The protocol enabled straightforward annotation and archiving of nTMS results.
Reduced recurrent staff involvement in file transfer processes.

Conclusions:

The developed protocol enhances data security and streamlines presurgical planning.
Interdepartmental cooperation was essential for protocol creation and implementation.
The protocol improved cost-effectiveness and workflow efficiency in nTMS studies.
