- Planning the placement of intracranial electrodes, used to locate epileptic seizure onset, is a complex time-consuming process. We presented a computer algorithm to automatically calculate safe, avascular trajectories for multiple electrodes simultaneously. In 190 trajectories our algorithm demonstrated a lower risk and favourable drilling angles compared to those planned manually by a neurosurgeon. This work generated two patents (#WO/2015/173571, #WO/2018/055395) and is currently being evaluated by Medtronic, Inc. for inclusion in their commercial Cranial Navigation software (leslie.holton@medtronic.com). It is currently used during routine clinical care by Mr. Andrew McEvoy at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (a.mcevoy@nhs.net).
