Abstract

Improved targeting of cranial therapy is provided by warping a general purpose brain atlas to a measured head shape of the patient. The resulting patient-specific transformation from brain atlas to patient's head allows one to estimate the location of brain features of the patient without any patient specific brain imaging. Such cost-effective targeting of brain features is especially useful for therapies like transcranial magnetic stimulation, where accuracy of targeting brain structures and session-to-session consistency are both important.
