AN EFFICIENT MR GUIDANCE METHOD FOR DBS IMPLANTATION FOR CONTROLLING TREMOR SYMPTOM

摘要

MR-guided DBS electrode implantation at a high magnetic field strength has been shown to be feasible and desirable. It not only shortens the overall surgical procedural time significantly, but also promises better results for PD patients. Suitable MR techniques have been successfully developed, validated and used for the functional neurosurgery.
