Planning System for Neurostimulation Therapy
First Claim
1. A system for planning implantation of a neurostimulation probe, the system comprising:
- an input for receiving anatomical data comprising information regarding a position and an orientation of at least one fiber bundle in a target region;
an input for receiving therapeutic information comprising information regarding a stimulation preferability of the at least one fiber bundle;
an optimization module for based on the position, the orientation and the stimulation preferability of the at least one fiber bundle calculating at least one optimal position and at least one optimal orientation for implantation of the neurostimulation probe at which optimal position and orientation the probe is capable of generating an electric field gradient substantially parallel to at least one fiber bundle with a high stimulation preferability and/or substantially perpendicular to at least one fiber bundle with a low stimulation preferability; and
an output for providing the optimal position and orientation.

6. A method of planning implantation of a neurostimulation probe, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving anatomical data comprising information regarding a position and an orientation of at least one fiber bundle in a target region; receiving therapeutic information comprising information regarding a stimulation preferability of the at least one fiber bundle; based on the position, the orientation and the stimulation preferability calculating at least one optimal position and at least one optimal orientation for implantation of the neurostimulation probe at which optimal position and orientation the probe is capable of generating an electric field gradient substantially parallel to at least one fiber bundle with a high stimulation preferability and/or substantially perpendicular to at least one fiber bundle with a low stimulation preferability; and providing the optimal position and orientation. - View Dependent Claims (7)
