Computational Model of SNS Using Tractography
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating CT scan for Faecal Incontinence. Completed, enrolled 10 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study aims to obtain finer details of tissues surrounding a lead in the pelvis using a combination of high-resolution anatomical MRI sequences and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). DTI is a non-invasive technique sometimes described as fiber tractography that enables visualization of the pathways and integrity of nerves. In this feasibility study, we plan to use DTI to assess the sacral plexus and its peripheral nerves. A model will be constructed by superimposing SNS lead from a CT scan onto the DTI imaging to map out the electrode position. It is hoped that this study will lead to a better understanding of both therapeutic and adverse stimulation effects and enable patient-specific adjustments of stimulation parameters.
