Abstract
A method for determining a stereotactic brain target includes at least one target point, the method comprising the following steps: selecting patients for whom the result measured following treatment at at least one target point is greater than or equal to a threshold, postoperative imaging having been performed for each of the patients; processing the postoperative imaging so as to determine coordinates of the at least one target point; selecting brain marker points; processing the postoperative imaging so as to determine coordinates of the marker points; creating a learning database comprising the coordinates of the target points and the coordinates of the marker points determined for all of the selected patients; determining a prediction function giving the coordinates of at least one target point according to the coordinates of the marker points by using the learning database and a supervised statistical learning method; processing preoperative imaging of a new patient to be treated so as to determine coordinates of the marker points of the new patient; using the prediction function so as to obtain the coordinates of at least one target point for the new patient according to th…
