Abstract

Surgical treatment of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) requires the localization of the epileptogenic zone for surgical resection. Currently, clinicians utilize electroencephalography (BEG), various neuroimaging modalities, and psychological tests together to determine the location of this zone. We investigate how a multimedia neuroimaging workstation built on top of the UCSF Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) can be used to aid surgical planning of epilepsy and related brain diseases. This usage demonstrates the ability of the workstation to retrieve image and textual data from PACS and other image sources, register multimodality images, visualize and render 3D data sets, analyze images, generate new image and text data from the analysis, and organize all data in a relational database management system.
