Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery has emerged as a
powerful neuromodulation clinical therapy. Current
standard clinical imaging protocols do not have
sufficient resolution and/or SNR to delineate brain
structures relevant to DBS surgery. Structural images
acquired at 7T exhibit rich informational content with
potential utility for clinical applications. Here we
utilized 7T images to create patient-specific anatomical
models to enhance pre-surgical DBS targeting as well as
post-surgical visualization of the DBS lead position and
orientation, including its four individual contacts.
These new visualization capabilities will enhance and
improve DBS outcomes.
