AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Since there are usually dozens or even hundreds of implanted electrodes, its position in three-dimensional space is often difficult to accurately correspond to the sketch set before operation. Numbering is not only time-consuming, but also due to problems such as overlapping of 3D images and noise interference, there may be problems such as mislabeling or wrong numbering, which will lead to directional errors in subsequent analysis, which has a great impact on clinical or scientific research

When marking electrode signals in 3D brain images, it is time-consuming, labor-intensive and error-prone to simply use manual methods. Since the positions of electrodes cannot be digitized when drawing the electrode sketches in the initial stage, the human-computer interaction method combining computer recognition and manual recognition can be used immediately. Improve the efficiency of marking while ensuring the reliability of the results, which is of great significance for real-time monitoring of abnormal discharge activities and accurate positioning of abnormal discharge computer areas
