A 3D multimodal approach to precisely locate DBS electrodes in the basal ganglia brain region

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is the effective surgical treatment for drug-refractory movement disorders. In order to improve the therapeutic outcome precise anatomic location of electrodes must be achieved. Thus, neurologists can achieve better clinical decisions and take a more careful selection of the best stimulation parameters for DBS. In this paper, we present a system that accurately obtains the 3D positions of DBS electrodes relative to...
