Title
NEURONAV: A Tool for Image-Guided Surgery - Application to Parkinson's Disease.
Abstract
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a surgical procedure used to treat symptoms associated with Parkinson's Disease (PD). The success of DBS depends on the correct location of a microelectrode over the subthalamic area. This paper presents the software NEURONAV for image-guided surgery. This software serves as a support for the medical specialist in DBS. NEURONAV has two principal modules. Firstly, it allows to plan the DBS. The application contains options such as 3D image viewer, image registration, slice viewers, landmark medical planning and visualization of 3D brain structures. Secondly, NEURONAV includes an interactive application to perform the tracking of the microelectrode during the DBS. NEURONAV has been tested in procedures performed at a specialized medical center in Colombia. Results show an adequate tracking of the microelectrode implanting process and it is possible to achieve better therapeutic outcomes, and more robustness to the side effects generated by DBS in PD patients.
