Integrating Target Tape technology in multimodal neuroimaging registration

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Target Tape is a Vancouver-based small company specialized in developing easy accessible and operational technologies to aid clinical and healthcare practices. The company has developed disposable rulers or markers that help guide the accurate placement of incisions during surgery. The company wishes to apply these devices to brain imaging particularly in neuroimaging applications related to treating brain tumor, stroke, dementia, traumatic brain injury etc., where it is commonplace to acquire and combine images from various sources such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetoencephalography (MEG), and electroencephalography (EEG). A key question is how to accurately overlay various types of functional brain images, and accurately map functional data to specific brain regions on structural images. This project will focus on initially developing a prototype device and software to help with accurate multimodal neuroimaging. If successful the project will then be expanded into the clinical setting through further funding.
