Intracranial Disease-Region Composite-Interpretation Technology for Enhanced Source Localization in Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery by Jeongyoon Shin, Wonsik Yang, Jungmin Seo, Won Seok Chang, Heung Dong Kim, Se Hee Kim, Jong-Moon Chung

“…However, previous techniques only perform 3-dimensional (3D) reconstruction, and do not conduct delineation on the cortex surface as a resection guidance, and there is very little data on intracranial EEG and pediatric cases. This study proposes an Intracranial Disease-region Composite-interpretation (IDC) EEG-based source localization (ESL) scheme that uses 3D extended reality (XR) edge computing to enhance visualization and comprehensive interpretation of intracranial EEG-based source localization (iESL) for patients with pediatric epilepsy. …”
