Over the last few years, Dr. Alexander Bastos and Roch Comeau (under the supervision of Dr. F. Andermann) have been working to develop a medical image analysis package to perform complex reconstructions of patient MRI images for the detection of subtle brain pathologies such as focal cortical dysplasias. This software has since been in use at the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) with great success, both clinically and academically.
This analysis tool enables the Neuroradiologist or Neurologist to obtain a series of three dimensional images (curvilinear reformatting) of the brain that help overcome the limitations of more conventional multiplanar reformatting (MPR). These curvilinear reconstructions provide detailed examination of the brain gray and white matter boundaries and superior insight into many aspects of the brain anatomy. Curvilinear Reformatting can be used to examine subtle pathologies such as focal cortical dysplasias.
The high quality of information provided with these images, combined with the tool's ease of use has made the software an indespensible tool at the MNH. In order to address the strong interest in this analysis tool and to ensure that it continues to evolve into a comprehensive diagnostic aid, Rogue Research continues its development and distribution. Rogue Research will focus on further developing Brainsight™.
