Digital image processing to handle neuroanatomical information and neurophysiological data. 1985

C Giorgi, and U Cerchiari, and G Broggi, and P Birk, and A Struppeler

An application of computer graphics technology to functional stereotactic neurosurgery is presented. Neuroanatomical images derived from a stereotactic atlas and information retrieved from a neurophysiological data base are drawn on a graphic monitor. The pictures are oriented and scaled according to appropriate landmarks. The aim of this work is to add confidence in the surgeon's selection of the probe trajectory and to improve the knowledge of sensory and motor organization within the thalamus.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
