The use of intraoperative MR and direct DBS targeting, relies on anatomical rather than functional data. Historical clinical outcome databases that have recorded stimulation location and magnitude of effect, can provide a useful adjunct in DBS targeting strategies. We present a method for generating clinical outcome topographies, and merging regions of effect onto a pre-operative MR, for surgical...
Advanced features are being added to telemedicine paradigms to enhance usability and usefulness. Virtual Interactive Presence (VIP) is a technology that allows a surgeon and patient to interact in a “merged reality” space, to facilitate both verbal, visual, and manual interaction. In this clinical study, a mobile VIP iOS application was introduced into routine post-operative orthopedic and neurosurgical...
Hydrocephalus, where cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production rate is greater than reabsorption rate, leads to impaired neurological function if left untreated. Ventriculoperitoneal shunts (VPS) are implanted in the brain ventricles to route CSF. VPS systems have a high failure rate, and failure symptoms resemble symptoms of common maladies. The current gold standard for shunt diagnosis, surgical intervention,...
Since many cardiac pathologies manifest themselves at the cellular and molecular levels, extrapolation to clinical variables, such as the electrocardiogram (ECG), would prove invaluable to diagnosis and treatment. One ultimate goal of the cardiac modeler is to integrate cellular level detail with quantitative properties of the ECG (a property of the whole heart). This magnificent task is not unlike...
