Objective: Overlapping measures are often utilized to quantify the similarity between two
binary regions. However, modern segmentation algorithms output a probability or confidence …

Background Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic region is an established
therapy for advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). However, patients often require time-intensive …

Objective Deep brain stimulation (DBS) requires accurate localization of the anatomical target
structure, and the precise placement of the DBS electrode within it. Ultra-high field 7 Tesla …

Purpose To measure and compare the clinical localization and registration errors in image-guided
neurosurgery, with the purpose of revising current assumptions. Materials and …

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has evolved into a powerful clinical therapy for a range of
neurological disorders, but even with impressive clinical growth, DBS technology has been …

Object Surface-based registration (SBR) with facial surface scans has been proposed as an
alternative for the commonly used fiducial-based registration in image-guided neurosurgery. …

This paper presents new methods for the optimal selection of anatomical landmarks and
optimal placement of fiducial markers in image-guided neurosurgery. These methods allow the …

… This research was supported in part by the Post-doctoral fellowships (to Reuben R. Shamir)
of the Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences (ELSC), the Vorst family grant for …

BACKGROUND Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a proven
and effective therapy for the management of the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD…

AIM To compare accuracy, reproducibility and test duration for the Snellen and the Early
Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) charts, two main tools used to measure visual …
