Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Intracranial electroencephalography (ICEEG) recordings are performed for seizure localization in medically refractory epilepsy. Signal quantifications such as frequency power can be projected as heatmaps on personalized three-dimensional (3D) reconstructed cortical surfaces to distill these complex recordings into intuitive cinematic visualizations. However, simultaneously reconciling deep recording locations and reliably tracking evolving ictal patterns remain significant challenges. METHODS: We fused oblique magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) slices along depth probe trajectories with cortical surface reconstructions and projected dynamic heatmaps using a simple mathematical metric of epileptiform activity (line-length). This omni-planar and surface casting of epileptiform activity approach (OPSCEA) thus illustrated seizure onset and spread among both deep and superficial locations simultaneously with minimal need for signal processing supervision. We utilized the approach on 41 patients at our center implanted with grid, strip, and/or depth electrodes for localizing medically refractory seizures. Peri-ictal data were converted into OPSCEA videos with multiple 3D brain views illustrating all electrode locations. Five people of varying expertise in epilepsy (medical student through epilepsy attending level) attempted to localize the seizure-onset zones. RESULTS: We retrospectively compared this approach with the original ICEEG study reports for validation. Accuracy ranged from 73.2% to 97.6% for complete or overlapping onset lobe(s), respectively, and ~56.1% to 95.1% for the specific focus (or foci). Higher answer certainty for a given case predicted better accuracy, and scorers had similar accuracy across different training levels. SIGNIFICANCE: In an era of increasing stereo-EEG use, cinematic visualizations fusing omni-planar and surface functional projections appear to provide a useful adjunct for interpreting complex intracranial recordings and subsequent surgery planning.
