Background: An accurate and rapid anatomical localization of implanted subdural electrodes is essential in the invasive diagnostic process for epilepsy surgery.
Objective: To demonstrate our experience with a three-dimensional (3D) virtual reality simulation software (Dextroscope®, Bracco Imaging, Milano, Italy) in the postoperative localization of subdural electrodes.
Methods: Postoperative thin-slice computed tomography (CT) scans were coregistered to preoperative 3D magnetic resonance (MR) images in the Dextroscope environment in 10 patients.
