The users enters 1) the T1-weighted whole-brain anatomical image 2) Place four points: the nasion, the inion, the left tragus and the right tragus. The program make a 3D mesh morphed to the structural MRI data of a participant and calculates the 10-20 system EEG with T3P3, and outputs the distance between the anatomical target and the T3 electrode.

Module Description

This module calculates geodesic path in 3D structure. Thanks to this geodesic path, this module could draw an EEG 10-20 system.

Terminology

  • Mesh A mesh or polygon mesh is a collection of vertices, edges and faces that defines the shape of a polyhedral object in 3D computer graphics and solid modeling.
  • Shortest path In graph theory, the shortest path problem is the problem of finding a path between two vertices (or nodes) in a graph such that the sum of the weights of its constituent edges is minimized.
  • 10-20 EEG system The International 10-20 system is commonly used for electroencephalogram (EEG) electrode placement and to correlate external skull locations with underlying cortical areas.[1]

Use Cases

The overall goal is to allow users to find the shortest paths between nodes in a graph and via the Dijkstra's algorithm to make 10-20 system. This module can be used for:

  • Stimulation in psychiatry
  • Surgery measurement
  • 3D printing

Panels and their use

Create a mesh

Create mesh.png

A typical straightforward Geodesic Slicer workflow for consists of the following steps:

  1. Load a volume.nii.
  2. Enter in the Geodesic Slicer module using either the toolbar or the Modules menu button.
  3. Press the button "Create a mesh".
    • Wait a moment.
  4. If the segmentation is fine, press the button "Use this mesh".
    • If your image was named 't1.nii' the output will be called 't1.stl', in the same directory of your initial image.
  5. Go to Parameters to find the shortest path or Make 10-20 EEG system electrode section.

Parameters to find the shortest path

Shortest past.png
  1. Source points: The list of fiducial points on the curve, since the "Create-and-place Fiducial" button (in green in the figure above).
  2. Input STL model: The model you use (after "use this mesh", the t1.stl created).
    • Find the shortest path: Calculate in centimeter the geodesic (shortest) path via the Dijkstra's algorithm.
    • Draw the shortest path: Draw the Dijkstra's algorithm shortest path.
      • Length (cm): The length of the current curve is shown in centimeter.

10-20 system electrode

Run the Dijkstra's algorithm to make the 10-20 system electrode distances.

Four anatomical landmarks are used for the essential positioning of the electrodes: the nasion, the inion, the pre auricular to the left ear and the pre auricular to the right ear.
  1. Source points: The list of fiducial points on the curve, since the "Create-and-place Fiducial" button (in green in the figure above). Four anatomical landmarks are used for the essential positioning of the electrodes (in this order!):
    • 1/the nasion
    • 2/the inion
    • 3/the pre auricular to the left ear
    • 4/the pre auricular to the right ear
  2. Input STL model: The model you use (after "use this mesh", the t1.stl created).
  3. Press the button "Make 10-20 EEG system electrode" to draw the 10-20 EEG system via the Dijkstra's algorithm.
    • The traditional T3P3 site according to the International 10–20 system of electroencephalogram and an anatomical target defined as the best stimulation site to decrease auditory verbal hallucinations and located in the left temporo-parietal cortex [2] [3] was identified.
  4. Distance T3-Stim in the T3P3 axis are give in centimeters. "Stim" was defined as the stimulation target defined in this article [4].
