Abstract
This article presents a method to plan BloodBrain Barrier (BBB) disruption with Focused Ultrasound, under neuronavigated robotic assistance. Robotic and acoustic constraints are defined to estimate brain target accessibility. The relevance of the proposed framework is illustrated in specific brain target examples.
