Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery , 06/29/09
O'Gorman RL et al. - Stereotactic postoperative imaging is essential for verification of the position of electrodes implanted for deep brain stimulation (DBS). MRI offers superior visualisation of the DBS targets relative to CT, but previous adverse incidents have heightened concerns about risks of postoperative MRI. CT/MRI fusion provides a safe, practical technique for postoperative identification of DBS electrodes.
