Abstract
Methods and systems for providing treatment planning information for a neurology procedure, including neurosurgical procedures. A database containing historical data about historical procedures is accessed. Historical data relevant to a neurology procedure is determined, based on a determination of similarity to a set of data characterizing the neurology procedure. Historical instances of procedure parameters relevant to the neurology procedure are determined and displayed.
Claims22
A computer implemented method for providing planning information for a neurosurgical procedure, the method comprising:
- receiving a first set of data characterizing the neurosurgical procedure;
- accessing one or more historical databases containing historical data about historical procedures;
- determining one or more historical data relevant to the neurosurgical procedure, based on a determination of similarity to the first set of data;
- determining, from the one or more historical data, one or more historical instances of one or more procedure parameters relevant to the neurosurgical procedure;
- and
- displaying, on an output device, the one or more historical instances of the one or more procedure parameters, the one or more procedure parameters comprising an entry site for the neurosurgical procedure, and the displaying comprising displaying indicators of locations of one or more historical entry sites superimposed on an image of a region of interest for the neurosurgical procedure.

A computer implemented method for providing feedback for a neurology procedure, the method comprising:
- accessing a remote database containing pre-procedure and post-procedure image data;
- determining, using identification information, a set of pre-procedure image data and a set of post-procedure image data associated with a given neurology procedure for a patient;
- performing a quantitative comparison of the pre-procedure image data and the post-procedure image data;
- and
- displaying, on an output device, the quantitative comparison in combination with the pre-procedure image data and the post-procedure image data, the pre-procedure image data and the post-procedure image data being tractography data, and the quantitative comparison being a comparison of neural tract areas between the pre-procedure tractography and the post-procedure tractography.
13-14. (canceled)
A system for providing information about a neurosurgical procedure, the information being provided intra-operatively during the neurosurgical procedure, the system comprising:
- a central system, comprising one or more processors, in communication with two or more databases, each of the two or more databases storing different information associated with the neurosurgical procedure;
- one or more data processing modules executable by the central system, the one or more data processing modules including at least one planning module that, when executed, causes the system to:
- receive a first set of data characterizing the neurosurgical procedure;
- access one or more historical databases containing historical data about historical procedures;
- determine one or more historical data relevant to the neurosurgical procedure, based on a determination of similarity to the first set of data;
- determine, from the one or more historical data, one or more historical instances of one or more procedure parameters relevant to the neurosurgical procedure, the one or more procedure parameters comprising an entry site for the neurosurgical procedure;
- and
- cause an output device to display the one or more historical instances of the one or more procedure parameters, including displaying indicators of locations of one or more historical entry sites superimposed on an image of a region of interest for the neurosurgical procedure.
17-20. (canceled)
A system for providing feedback about a neurology procedure, the system comprising:
- a central system, comprising one or more processors, in communication with one or more remote databases containing pre-procedure and post-procedure image data;
- and
- one or more data processing modules executable by the central system, the one or more data processing modules including at least one feedback module that, when executed, causes the system to:
- access at least one remote database containing the pre-procedure and post-procedure image data;
- determine, using identification information, a set of pre-procedure image data and a set of post-procedure image data associated with a given neurology procedure for a patient;
- perform a quantitative comparison of the pre-procedure image data and the post-procedure image data;
- and
- cause an output device to display the quantitative comparison in combination with the pre-procedure image data and the post-procedure image data, pre-procedure image data and the post-procedure image data being tractography data, and the quantitative comparison being a comparison of neural tract areas between the pre-procedure tractography and the post-procedure tractograph.
