    Abstract: A computer-assisted and automatic identification of possible cranial positions for any kind of implant is presented. In this method, skull data of the individual patient's skull are used as well as statistical skull data which include so-called skull avoidance zones. Further, a digital template of the implant is used to find these possible positions. The implant may be e.g. an IPG and/or the screws of a fixation frame, but these are only embodiments of implants and other implants may be used with the present invention as well. The computer-implemented medical method of the present invention removes the uncertainty whether a given patient can safely receive an implant, like for example a cranial IPG, which was previously only possible on the basis of human judgement. Furthermore, the present invention removes the uncertainty whether a given patient can be safely fixated in a stereotactic frame or a Mayfield head clamp. The present invention supports the localization of optimal implant location as well as neuro-navigation guided execution of surgery. This enhances safety and speed of the entire medical procedure, as will be explained in more detail hereinafter. The advantages described hereinbefore are in the same way realized by the computer program, the medical system and the navigation system for computer-assisted surgery of the present invention.

    Abstract: A medical data processing method is provided and includes: acquiring medical image data describing a digital image of an anatomical body part containing at least one nerve fibre extending between an internal part of the anatomical body part and a substantially exterior part of the anatomical body part; and acquiring atlas data describing an image-based model of the anatomical body part. The method determines, based on the medical image data and the atlas data, exterior part data describing an association between the exterior part and the nerve fibre. The method further acquires a predetermined applied stimulation signal applied to, based on the exterior part data, the exterior part and an emitted stimulation signal emitted by the nerve fibre. Correspondence measure data describing a measure of correspondence between the applied stimulation signal and the emitted stimulation signal is then determined.
