  • Publication number: 20220398732
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an operation method of a PET (positron emission tomography) quantitative localization system, which includes steps as follows. The PET image and the MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) of the patient are acquired; the nonlinear deformation is performed on the MRI and the T1 template to generate deformation information parameters; the AAL (automated anatomical labeling) atlas is deformed to an individual brain space of the patient, so as to generate an individual brain space AAL atlas, where the AAL atlas and the T1 template are in a same space; lateralization indexes of the ROIs of the individual brain space AAL atlas corresponding to the PET image normalized through the gray-scale intensity are calculated; the lateralization indexes are inputted into one or more machine learning models to analyze the result of determining a target.

  • Patent number: 11205267
    Abstract: A method for localizing an intracranial electrode in a subject's brain is provided. The intracranial electrode has at least one electrode contact. The method includes: acquiring a first brain image reconstructed from first image data acquired after electrode-implantation; acquiring a second brain image reconstructed from second image data acquired before the electrode-implantation; co-registering the first brain image and the second brain image to acquire spatial transformation parameters; extracting a first coordinate of the electrode contact from the first brain image; converting the first coordinate into a second coordinate in the second brain image by using the spatial transformation parameters; co-registering the second brain image and a universal brain atlas to define functional zones in the second brain image; and defining a corresponding functional zone where the second coordinate is located. Another alternative method and a system for localizing an intracranial electrode are also provided herein.
