Abstract
Devices, systems, and techniques are disclosed for determining an orientation of electrodes within a patient. For example, method may include receiving magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data of tissue of a patient that received electrical stimulation via at least one electrode disposed in the patient, generating, based on the MRI data, stimulation temperature data representative of temperature changes in the tissue of the patient during the electrical stimulation, and determining, based on the temperature data, an orientation of the at least one electrode with respect to the tissue of the patient.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by processing circuitry, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data of tissue of a patient that received electrical stimulation via at least one electrode of a plurality of electrodes disposed in the patient;
- generating, based on the MRI data, stimulation temperature data representative of temperature changes in the tissue of the patient during the electrical stimulation;
- and
- determining, by the processing circuitry and based on the temperature data and an anatomical position of the tissue, an orientation of the at least one electrode with respect to the tissue of the patient.
A system comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to:
- receive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data of tissue of a patient that received electrical stimulation via at least one electrode of a plurality of electrodes disposed in the patient;
- generate, based on the MRI data, stimulation temperature data representative of temperature changes in tissue of the patient during electrical stimulation;
- and
- determine, by the processing circuitry and based on the temperature data and an anatomical position of the tissue, an orientation of the at least one electrode with respect to the tissue of the patient.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to:
- receive MRI data of tissue of a patient that received electrical stimulation via at least one electrode disposed in the patient;
- generate, based on the MRI data, stimulation temperature data representative of temperature changes in tissue of the patient during stimulation;
- and
- determine, by the processing circuitry and based on the temperature data and an anatomical position of the tissue, an orientation of the at least one electrode with respect to the tissue of the patient.
