Source: Laboratories of Jonas T. Kaplan and Sarah I. Gimbel—University of Southern California One principle of brain organization is the topographic mapping of information. Especially in sensory and motor cortices, adjacent regions of the brain tend to represent information from adjacent parts of the body, resulting in maps of the body expressed on the surface of the brain. The primary sensory and motor maps in the brain surround a prominent sulcus known as the central sulcus. The cortex...

Coordinate mapping is a method of documenting salient features of hyolaryngeal biomechanics in the pharyngeal phase of swallowing. This methodology uses image analysis software to record coordinates of anatomical landmarks. These coordinates are imported into an excel macro and translated into kinematic variables of interest useful in dysphagia research.

Here we present the proteogenomic tool PoGo and protocols for fast, quantitative, post-translational modification and variant enabled mapping of peptides identified through mass spectrometry onto reference genomes. This tool is of use to integrate and visualize proteogenomic and personal proteomic studies interfacing with orthogonal genomics data.
FAQs
Registration is the alignment step that places measurements or image data into a shared spatial framework. Without this step, information collected from different views or sources may not correspond consistently to the same anatomical location. A common coordinate system allows clinicians to compare structures, interpret their relationships, and use the resulting map during planning or navigation.
Two-dimensional maps can present anatomical information in a direct, compact view, while three-dimensional maps can show spatial relationships among structures more extensively. The choice depends on how clinicians need to interpret the anatomy. Both formats convert acquired measurements into visual information, but three-dimensional representation may be particularly useful when complex relationships must be understood.
Fast Anatomical Mapping can provide a spatial framework for combining anatomical information with functional data. When these types of information are interpreted together, clinicians may relate what a structure looks like to additional information about its function. This integration can support individualized decision-making by connecting patient-specific anatomy with clinically relevant functional characteristics.
A typical workflow begins by acquiring spatial measurements or image data from the anatomy of interest. The information is then registered to a common coordinate system, converted into a two- or three-dimensional representation, and presented for clinical interpretation. Rapid processing is important because the map is intended to remain useful during diagnosis, planning, or image-guided activity.
Clinicians may use this approach when they need a rapid representation of patient-specific anatomy for diagnosis, procedure planning, image-guided intervention, or navigation through complex structures. Its value is greatest when anatomical relationships must be interpreted efficiently. By shortening the time needed to characterize tissues and structures, mapping can support more efficient clinical workflows.
During an image-guided intervention, an anatomical map can provide a visual reference for the locations, shapes, and relationships of relevant structures. This information may help clinicians orient themselves within complex anatomy while planning or conducting a procedure. The approach therefore connects spatial visualization with procedural decision-making rather than treating anatomy as isolated images.
