Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has the potential to improve the quality of life of people with a variety of neurological diseases. A key challenge in DBS is in the placement of a stimulation electrode in the anatomical location that maximizes efficacy and minimizes side effects. Pre-operative localization of the optimal stimulation zone can reduce surgical times and morbidity. Current methods of producing efficacy probability maps follow an anatomical guidance on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to identify the areas with the highest efficacy in a population. In this work, we propose to revisit this problem as a classification problem, where each voxel in the MRI is a sample informed by the surrounding anatomy. We use a patch-based convolutional neural network to classify a stimulation coordinate as having a positive reduction in symptoms during surgery. We use a cohort of 187 patients with a total of 2,869 stimulation coordinates, upon which 3D patches were extracted and associated with an efficacy score. We compare our results with a registration-based method of surgical planning. We show an improvement in the classification of intraoperative stimulation coordinates as a positive response in reduction of symptoms with AUC of 0.670 compared to a baseline registration-based approach, which achieves an AUC of 0.627 (p < 0.01). Although additional validation is needed, the proposed classification framework and deep learning method appear well-suited for improving pre-surgical planning and personalize treatment strategies.

Computer-assisted planning for the insertion of stereoelectroencephalography electrodes for the investigation of drug-resistant focal epilepsy: an external validation study. J Neurosurg 2018; 130:601-610. [PMID: 29652234 PMCID: PMC6076995 DOI: 10.3171/2017.10.jns171826] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2017] [Accepted: 10/02/2017] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE One-third of cases of focal epilepsy are drug refractory, and surgery might provide a cure. Seizure-free outcome after surgery depends on the correct identification and resection of the epileptogenic zone. In patients with no visible abnormality on MRI, or in cases in which presurgical evaluation yields discordant data, invasive stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) recordings might be necessary. SEEG is a procedure in which multiple electrodes are placed stereotactically in key targets within the brain to record interictal and ictal electrophysiological activity. Correlating this activity with seizure semiology enables identification of the seizure-onset zone and key structures within the ictal network. The main risk related to electrode placement is hemorrhage, which occurs in 1% of patients who undergo the procedure. Planning safe electrode placement for SEEG requires meticulous adherence to the following: 1) maximize the distance from cerebral vasculature, 2) avoid crossing sulcal pial boundaries (sulci), 3) maximize gray matter sampling, 4) minimize electrode length, 5) drill at an angle orthogonal to the skull, and 6) avoid critical neurological structures. The authors provide a validation of surgical strategizing and planning with EpiNav, a multimodal platform that enables automated computer-assisted planning (CAP) for electrode placement with user-defined regions of interest. METHODS Thirteen consecutive patients who underwent implantation of a total 116 electrodes over a 15-month period were studied retrospectively. Models of the cortex, gray matter, and sulci were generated from patient-specific whole-brain parcellation, and vascular segmentation was performed on the basis of preoperative MR venography. Then, the multidisciplinary implantation strategy and precise trajectory planning were reconstructed using CAP and compared with the implemented manually determined plans. Paired results for safety metric comparisons were available for 104 electrodes. External validity of the suitability and safety of electrode entry points, trajectories, and target-point feasibility was sought from 5 independent, blinded experts from outside institutions. RESULTS CAP-generated electrode trajectories resulted in a statistically significant improvement in electrode length, drilling angle, gray matter-sampling ratio, minimum distance from segmented vasculature, and risk (p < 0.05). The blinded external raters had various opinions of trajectory feasibility that were not statistically significant, and they considered a mean of 69.4% of manually determined trajectories and 62.2% of CAP-generated trajectories feasible; 19.4% of the CAP-generated electrode-placement plans were deemed feasible when the manually determined plans were not, whereas 26.5% of the manually determined electrode-placement plans were rated feasible when CAP-determined plans were not (no significant difference). CONCLUSIONS CAP generates clinically feasible electrode-placement plans and results in statistically improved safety metrics. CAP is a useful tool for automating the placement of electrodes for SEEG; however, it requires the operating surgeon to review the results before implantation, because only 62% of electrode-placement plans were rated feasible, compared with 69% of the manually determined placement plans, mainly because of proximity of the electrodes to unsegmented vasculature. Improved vascular segmentation and sulcal modeling could lead to further improvements in the feasibility of CAP-generated trajectories.

Abstract
Deep Brain Stimulation is a neurosurgery procedure consisting in implanting an electrode in a deep structure of the brain. This intervention requires a preoperative planning phase, with a millimetric accuracy, in which surgeons decide the best placement of the electrode depending on a set of surgical rules. However, brain tissues may deform during the surgery because of the brain shift phenomenon, leading the electrode to mistake the target, or moreover to damage a vital anatomical structure. In this paper, we present a patient-specific automatic planning approach for DBS procedures which accounts for brain deformation. Our approach couples an optimization algorithm with FEM based brain shift simulation. The system was tested successfully on a patient-specific 3D model, and was compared to a planning without considering brain shift. The obtained results point out the importance of performing planning in dynamic conditions.

Abstract
PURPOSE Intracranial electrodes are sometimes implanted in patients with refractory epilepsy to identify epileptic foci and propagation. Maximal recording of EEG activity from regions suspected of seizure generation is paramount. However, the location of individual contacts cannot be considered with current manual planning approaches. We propose and validate a procedure for optimizing intracranial electrode implantation planning that maximizes the recording volume, while constraining trajectories to safe paths. METHODS Retrospective data from 20 patients with epilepsy that had electrodes implanted in the mesial temporal lobes were studied. Clinical imaging data (CT/A and T1w MRI) were automatically segmented to obtain targets and structures to avoid. These data were used as input to the optimization procedure. Each electrode was modeled to assess risk, while individual contacts were modeled to estimate their recording capability. Ordered lists of trajectories per target were obtained. Global optimization generated the best set of electrodes. The procedure was integrated into a neuronavigation system. RESULTS Trajectories planned automatically covered statistically significant larger target volumes than manual plans [Formula: see text]. Median volume coverage was [Formula: see text] for automatic plans versus [Formula: see text] for manual plans. Furthermore, automatic plans remained at statistically significant safer distance to vessels [Formula: see text] and sulci [Formula: see text]. Surgeon's scores of the optimized electrode sets indicated that 95% of the automatic trajectories would be likely considered for use in a clinical setting. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that automatic electrode planning for epilepsy provides safe trajectories and increases the amount of information obtained from the intracranial investigation.

Abstract
In the past 15 years, rapid improvements in imaging technology and methodology have had a tremendous impact on how we study the human brain. During deep brain stimulation surgeries, detailed anatomical images can be combined with physiological data obtained by microelectrode recordings and microstimulations to address questions relating to the location of specific motor or sensorial functions. The main advantage of techniques such as microelectrode recordings and microstimulations over brain imaging is their ability to localize patient physiological activity with a high degree of spatial resolution. Aggregating data acquired from large populations permits to build what are commonly referred to as statistical atlases. Data points from statistical atlases can be combined to produce probabilistic maps. A crucial step in this process is the intersubject spatial normalization that is required to relate a position in one subject's brain to a position in another subject's brain. In this paper, we study the impact of spatial normalization techniques on building statistical atlases. We find that the Talairach or anterior-posterior commissure coordinate system commonly used in the medical literature produces atlases that are more dispersed than those obtained with normalization methods that rely on nonlinear volumetric image registration. We also find that the maps produced using nonlinear techniques correlate with their expected anatomic positions.

Abstract
Functional neurosurgical procedures used to treat the debilitating motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease and that target small subcortical structures have typically relied on semi-qualitative manual approaches that rely upon the establishing qualitative between volumetric imaging data and print atlases. This chapter reviews many new high -precision and -accuracy techniques that can be used for the full automated localization of these targets. These techniques rely on the a priori development of neuroanatomical atlases derived from magnetic resonance imaging data, high-resolution identification of subcortical structures from histology, and spatially localized data bases of intra-operative recordings and successful surgical outcomes. Other novel structural and functional MRI techniques that allow for the direct visualization of thalamic sub nuclei are also reviewed.

Abstract
PURPOSE Both frame-based and frameless approaches to deep brain stimulation (DBS) require planning of insertion trajectories that mitigate hemorrhagic risk and loss of neurological function. Currently, this is done by manual inspection of multiple potential electrode trajectories on MR-imaging data. We propose and validate a method for computer-assisted DBS trajectory planning. METHOD Our framework integrates multi-modal MRI analysis (T1w, SWI, TOF-MRA) to compute suitable DBS trajectories that optimize the avoidance of specific critical brain structures. A cylinder model is used to process each trajectory and to evaluate complex surgical constraints described via a combination of binary and fuzzy segmented datasets. The framework automatically aggregates the multiple constraints into a unique ranking of recommended low-risk trajectories. Candidate trajectories are represented as a few well-defined cortical entry patches of best-ranked trajectories and presented to the neurosurgeon for final trajectory selection. RESULTS The proposed algorithm permits a search space containing over 8,000 possible trajectories to be processed in less than 20 s. A retrospective analysis on 14 DBS cases of patients with severe Parkinson's disease reveals that our framework can improve the simultaneous optimization of many pre-formulated surgical constraints. Furthermore, all automatically computed trajectories were evaluated by two neurosurgeons, were judged suitable for surgery and, in many cases, were judged preferable or equivalent to the manually planned trajectories used during the operation. CONCLUSIONS This work provides neurosurgeons with an intuitive and flexible decision-support system that allows objective and patient-specific optimization of DBS lead trajectories, which should improve insertion safety and reduce surgical time.

Abstract
PURPOSE The optimal electrode trajectory is needed to assist surgeons in planning Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). A method for image-based trajectory planning was developed and tested. METHODS Rules governing the DBS surgical procedure were defined with geometric constraints. A formal geometric solver using multimodal brain images and a template built from 15 brain MRI scans were used to identify a space of possible solutions and select the optimal one. For validation, a retrospective study of 30 DBS electrode implantations from 18 patients was performed. A trajectory was computed in each case and compared with the trajectories of the electrodes that were actually implanted. RESULTS Computed trajectories had an average difference of 6.45° compared with reference trajectories and achieved a better overall score based on satisfaction of geometric constraints. Trajectories were computed in 2 min for each case. CONCLUSION A rule-based solver using pre-operative MR brain images can automatically compute relevant and accurate patient-specific DBS electrode trajectories.

Abstract
We present a new preoperative planning method for reducing the risk associated with insertion of straight tools in image-guided keyhole neurosurgery. The method quantifies the risks of multiple candidate trajectories and presents them on the outer head surface to assist the neurosurgeon in selecting the safest path. The surgeon can then define and/or revise the trajectory, add a new one using interactive 3D visualization, and obtain a quantitative risk measures. The trajectory risk is evaluated based on the tool placement uncertainty, on the proximity of critical brain structures, and on a predefined table of quantitative geometric risk measures. Our results on five targets show a significant reduction in trajectory risk and a shortening of the preoperative planning time as compared to the current routine method.

Abstract
Electrophysiological maps based on a Gaussian kernel have been proposed as a means to visualize response to stimulation in deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgeries. However, the Gaussian model does not represent the underlying physiological phenomenon produced by stimulation. We propose a new method to create physiological maps, which relies on spherical shell kernels. We compare our new maps to those created with Gaussian kernels and show that, on simulated data, this new approach produces more realistic maps. Experiments we have performed with real patient data show that our new maps correlate well with the underlying anatomy. Finally, we present preliminary results on an ongoing study assessing the value of these maps as pre-operative planning and intra-operative guidance tools.
