Abstract: Devices, systems, and techniques are disclosed for determining an orientation of an implanted medical lead. For example, a system may include processing circuitry configured to receive image data representing a lead implanted within a patient, identify, from the image data, at least one hypointensive portion, identify, from the image data, at least one hyperintensive portion, determine, based on the at least one hypointensive portion and the at least one hyperintensive portion, an orientation of the lead within the patient, and output the orientation of the lead.

Abstract: A burr cap assembly is at least partially inserted into a burr hole within the cranium of a patient. The burr cap assembly enables a elongate member to be inserted through the burr cap assembly to access a brain of the patient. A shifting member of the burr cap assembly may be configured to enable the elongate member to move with shifting fluid and matter of the brain. The shifting member of the burr cap assembly may be configured to move within a cavity defined by the burr cap assembly. The shifting member may be configured to move in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the distal portion of the elongate member. The shifting member may at least partially retain the elongate member, so as the shifting brain applies forces upon the elongate member, the elongate member and the shifting member may move within the cavity.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and techniques are described for detecting stroke or seizure with a compact system. For example, a system includes a memory, a plurality of electrodes, and sensing circuitry configured to sense, via at least two electrodes of the plurality of electrodes, electrical signals from a patient, and generate, based on the electrical signals, physiological information. The system may also include processing circuitry configured to receive, from the sensing circuitry, the physiological information, determine, based on the physiological information, a seizure metric indicative of a seizure status of the patient and a stroke metric indicative of a stroke status of the patient, and store the seizure metric and the stroke metric in the memory. A housing may carry the plurality of electrodes and contain both of the sensing circuitry and the processing circuitry.
