Electrode placement accuracy in robot-assisted epilepsy surgery: A comparison of different referencing techniques including frame-based CT versus facial laser scan based on CT or MRI.

CONCLUSION: Robot-guided sEEG electrode implantation using CT-frame referencing and CT-laser-based referencing is most accurate and can serve for high precision placement of electrodes. In contrast, 3.0-T MRI-laser-based referencing is less accurate, but saves radiation. Most trajectories can be reached if alternative routes over less vascularized brain areas are used.
