Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:This paper describes an Internet portal for stereotactic and functional neurosurgery with a probabilistic functional atlas (PFA) calculated from electrophysiological and neuroimaging data. This portal enables (1) data sharing among neurosurgeons; (2) the calculation of probabilistic functional maps of stereotactic target structures from a neurosurgeon's own data, optionally combined with data from other neurosurgeons, and (3) the construction and development of a PFA of the human brain by the neurosurgical community via the Internet. METHOD:The overall approach is done in three steps: (1) development and validation of the algorithm for PFA generation; (2) design and development of the portal for stereotactic and functional neurosurgery with tools for the rapid calculation, presentation, and use of the PFA, and (3) portal testing with the initial data acquired for 274 Parkinson's disease patients, 487 hemispheres, and 500 best contacts. This paper covers step 2 and some results from step 3. RESULTS:The Internet portal has been developed in Java and tested with the available data. Functions have been developed for: (1) data input, transfer, and editing; (2) data selection for PFA generation; (3) PFA generation; (4) PFA display and interactive manipulation, and (5) target planning. The portal has been put on the Internet for public use and so far more than 100 users downloaded it. CONCLUSION:The Internet portal for stereotactic and functional neurosurgery with a PFA potentially increases both the accuracy of targeting and the neurosurgeon's confidence. The portal may be useful for both experienced functional neurosurgeons who have studied numerous cases and novices in the field. The use of the PFA through this portal, and sharing and expanding its content by neurosurgeons represents a paradigm shift from manufacturer centric to community centric.
