Towards better neuronavigation in epilepsy surgery: pre-operative MRI to intra-operative CT registration [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Brief description In this project we will demonstrate the benefit of our new approach for accurately identifying the placement of surgically implanted invasive electrode arrays and epileptic seizure onset zones identified by them, relative to brain anatomy. Our technique employs our unique non-linear biomechanical model of the brain and has potential to dramatically increase the number of epilepsy patients benefiting from precisely targeted surgery – the only curative treatment for epilepsy.
