Intensity-based registration and combined visualization of multimodal brain images for noninvasive epilepsy surgery planning

To visualize the brain anatomy, seizure focus location and grid and strip electrode in 3-dimensional space provides improved planning information for focus localization and margin determination pre- and intra-operatively. However given the relatively poor spatial resolution and structural detail of the PET images, it can be difficult to recognize precise anatomic localization of the site of increased activation during seizure. In this paper, we present an intensity-based registration and combined visualization of CT, MR and PET brain images to provide both critical functional information and the structural details.
