Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system ( 10 ) and method ( 20 ) for planning a neurosurgical operation are provided the system ( 10 ) comprises an input ( 11 ) for receiving functional data ( 25 ) and anatomical data of a brain region ( 31 ), and a processor ( 12 ) configured to perform the method ( 20 ) according to the invention. The method ( 20 ) comprises analyzing ( 26 ) the functional data ( 25 ) to form a network representation ( 27 ) of functional connections, mapping the network representation ( 27 ) of the functional connections and the anatomical data to a common coordinate system, determining an expected function loss associated with a simulated removal of network nodes ( 32 ) or network connections ( 42 ) from the network representation ( 27 ), and identifying critical network connections and/or critical network nodes based on the expected function loss.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A system ( 10 ) for planning a neurosurgical operation, the system ( 10 ) comprising: an input ( 11 ) for receiving functional data and anatomical data ( 25 ) of a brain region ( 31 ), and a processor ( 12 ) configured to: analyze the functional data ( 25 ) to form a network representation ( 27 ) of functional connections, the network representation ( 27 ) comprising network nodes ( 32 ) and network connections ( 41 ) interconnecting the network no…
