We present a method for creating a patient specific, 3D printed model of depth electrode location in an epilepsy patient. We utilized a pre-surgery structural MRI scan and a post-electrode placement CT, which were aligned, and combined to visualize a cortical anatomy and electrode position. 3D models were then generated, edited, and 3D-printed to provide a visual and physical aid for surgical planning.
