Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system and method for treating Alzheimer's disease by delivery of an agent within the brain. At least one image of a target region is acquired, and at least one magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (MR-DTI) scan of the target region is acquired. A diffusion tensor is calculated from the at least one MR-DTI scan, and at least one of an agent distribution and an agent concentration from the images and the calculated diffusion tensor is calculated. Using at least one of the calculated diffusion tensor, the images, the calculated agent distribution, and the calculated agent concentration, the placement of a delivery instrument is planned to deliver the agent to the target region to achieve a desired agent concentration and/or agent distribution within the target region.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of operating a navigation system comprising a computer controller including a processor, a non-transient memory device, and a human readable viewable display to develop a treatment plan for treatment of Alzheimer's disease by delivery of an agent suitable for treating Alzheimer's disease within the brain of an associated patient, the method comprising: using a device inserted into the brain of the associated patient, identifying a target region of t…
