Real-time brain network visualization for tms treatment
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11951324B2) outlines a method for enabling transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) treatment. The method involves acquiring an anatomical image and functional data of a subject's brain, coregistering these data to form a combined view, and aligning this view with a TMS stimulation device in real-time. The location for TMS pulse stimulation is selected based on this combined view, with the option to display functional data for the area of interest on the combined view.
Furthermore, the method includes utilizing various types of functional data such as PET, fMRI, rsfMRI, or DTI data, and applying a tractography algorithm in real-time to display white matter tracts. The selection of the stimulation location can be based on treating depression, excitability threshold, or specific brain structures like BA46 or BA9. The method also involves verifying the desired seed locations by stimulating terminal ends of white matter tracts and observing the subject's response, providing a comprehensive approach to TMS treatment with real-time feedback and visualization.
