Description

Method for accurate positioning and navigation of individual space transcranial magnetic stimulation based on magnetic resonance imaging
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of biomedical image mode identification, and particularly relates to a magnetic resonance imaging-based individual space transcranial magnetic stimulation accurate positioning navigation method.
Background
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a noninvasive neuroimaging means that utilizes the different paramagnetic properties of oxygenated hemoglobin and deoxygenated hemoglobin. Numerous studies have found that the process of cooperative changes between different regions of the brain in the resting state, i.e. the intensity and changes of resting state functional connectivity (rsFC), is closely related to demographic variables, mood, memory, cognitive abilities and disease characteristics.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-destructive nerve Stimulation technology, which utilizes a pulsed Magnetic field to act on the central nervous system (mainly the brain) to change the membrane potential of cortical nerve cells, so that induced current is generated to influence the metabolism in the brain and the nerve electrical activity, thereby causing a series of physiological and biochemical reactions. In brief, TMS can painlessly and non-invasively generate inductive currents that activate the cortex, thereby altering physiological processes within the brain. Because TMS can stimulate and modulate neural activity in specific brain regions, it is now widely used in the treatment and intervention of various psychiatric disorders. However, traditional TMS only hits the brain subcortically in areas 2-3 cm, and does not provide a good treatment for most patients with mental disorders in the affected deep areas, such as the thalamus, amygdala, etc. In contrast, Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is the most commonly used invasive therapy for Deep nuclear mass therapy. DBS has evolved over the past 20 years as an alternative to the destructive surgery commonly used in traditional stereotactic functional neurosurgery. The method has proved to be an effective method, and the disability rate of the operation is greatly reduced due to the characteristics of reversibility and adjustability. The surgical method is initially applied to the treatment of dyskinesia, and the frequently selected target sites are thalamus, globus pallidus and subthalamic nucleus. However, due to the invasive nature of DBS, this approach cannot be used extensively in a wide range of psychiatric disorders.
Although the existing therapeutic measures have relatively fixed target areas, for example, in the therapeutic intervention of autism, the left and right dorsolateral prefrontal lobes are generally adopted as the intervention targets, but due to individual differences and disease heterogeneity, the effect of TMS is often not very satisfactory, and in the related therapy of TMS, more precise individual targets are lacked.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the problems recorded in the background technology and provides a method for accurate positioning and navigation of individual space transcranial magnetic stimulation based on magnetic resonance imaging.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme: a method for accurate positioning and navigation of individual space transcranial magnetic stimulation based on magnetic resonance imaging comprises the following steps:
acquiring resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging and high-resolution T1 weighted structure imaging of a patient to acquire a functional image and a structural image of an individual space;
matching the structural image with the functional image, and searching for the region of the target nucleus;
performing whole brain function connection calculation by taking the target nucleus area as a seed point, and searching an area functionally connected with the target nucleus in the cortex area to construct a target point;
generating an individual template with a target mark;
and fifthly, guiding the individual template with the target mark into an accurate navigation TMS instrument.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step two, the structural image is registered to the corresponding functional image individual space, or the functional image is registered to the individual structural space.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step two, the matching method is: and selecting a preset standard structure or function partition brain template, carrying out inverse transformation on the brain template, and carrying out inverse registration from a standard MNI space to an individual space.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step three, the calculation formula of the whole brain function connection calculation is as follows:
Figure BDA0003590025110000031
wherein xiAnd xjRepresenting the time series of two regions of interest, t denotes the point in time.
The principle and the beneficial effects of the invention are as follows: the invention provides a brain image-based individual space accurate target positioning method for assisting clinical determination of a stimulation target, aiming at the clinical problems that TMS is difficult to stimulate a brain subcutaneous deep nucleus and individual differences are large. The individual targets are helpful for accurate intervention of TMS aiming at the characteristics of individuals, and provide clear guidance for clinical use of intervention measures for specified mental diseases. The method indirectly acts on the deep nucleus area by accurately stimulating the target spot by utilizing the relation of the functional connection loop, and provides more effective individualized treatment navigation for TMS image navigation.
Therefore, based on the current research situation, the invention adopts a method for constructing the individualized target spot based on magnetic resonance imaging, and solves the problems that the conventional TMS can not stimulate deep nuclear groups, DBS is invasive, the individual variability is large, and the like. The method is characterized in that a target nucleus based whole brain function connection is constructed in an individual space, and a cortical region target spot most closely related to the target nucleus is searched. And an accurate target spot which is more in line with the actual situation of each individual is constructed at the individual level, and the accurate target spot indirectly acts on a deep stratum region which is difficult to hit by TMS, so that a new effective method is provided for the designation of individual TMS treatment measures.

the method comprises the following steps: acquiring resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging and high-resolution T1 weighted structure imaging of a patient to acquire a functional image and a structural image of an individual space;
step two: since the structural and functional images are scanned separately and the patient is moving during scanning, although their brains are images of the same individual space, there are some differences, so it is necessary to register the structure and function, i.e. to register the structural image of each person in the corresponding individual space of the functional image (or to register the functional image in the individual structural space), and to match the functional space and the structural space of the brain of each person together. Then, a brain partition template of an individual space is obtained, specifically: and selecting a preset standard structure or function partition brain template. The brain template is inverse-transformed from the standard MNI space into the individual space, for example: and selecting the structural image of the individual space to be matched with the functional image, and then performing inverse registration from the standard MNI space to the structural image of the individual space, and otherwise, selecting the functional image of the individual space to be matched with the structural image, and then performing inverse registration from the standard MNI space to the functional image of the individual space.
Step three: selecting corresponding deep nucleus area from brain partition template of individual space according to clinical requirement, and using the deep nucleus area of individual as seed point to make whole brain function connection. In the experiment, we used the individual amygdala region as the seed point for the calculation of the Functional Connectivity (FC) (as shown in fig. 2):
