Computer-Assisted Planning for Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG).

ABSTRACT: Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) is a diagnostic procedure in which multiple electrodes are stereotactically implanted within predefined areas of the brain to identify the seizure onset zone, which needs to be removed to achieve remission of focal epilepsy. Computer-assisted planning (CAP) has been shown to improve trajectory safety metrics and generate clinically feasible trajectories in a fraction of the time needed for manual planning. We report a prospective validation study of the use of EpiNav (UCL, London, UK) as a clinical decision support software for SEEG. Thirteen consecutive patients (125 electrodes) undergoing SEEG were prospectively recruited. EpiNav was used to generate 3D models of critical structures (including vasculature) and other important regions of interest. Manua
