The anatomical and electrophysiological subthalamic nucleus visualized by 3-T magnetic resonance imaging.
BACKGROUND Accurate localization of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is critical to the success of deep brain stimulation surgery for Parkinson disease. Recent developments in high-field-strength magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have made it possible to visualize the STN in greater detail. However, the relationship of the MR-visualized STN to the anatomic, electrophysiological, or atlas-predicted ...
متن کاملA novel composite targeting method using high-field magnetic resonance imaging for subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation.
OBJECT Accurate localization of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is important for proper placement of the electrodes in deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery for patients with advanced Parkinson disease. The authors evaluated the accuracy of our modified composite targeting method and the value of using high-field MR imaging for targeting the STN. METHODS Thirteen patients with advanced Parkinson...
متن کاملDirect visualization of the human subthalamic nucleus with 3T MR imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Electrical stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is an accepted treatment for advanced Parkinson disease (PD). Although procedural details are well established, targeting STN remains problematic because of its variable location and relatively small size (20-30 mm(3)). A combination of anatomic imaging with a stereotactic frame, atlas coordinates, and intraoperative...
متن کاملMRI-guided STN DBS in Parkinson's disease without microelectrode recording: efficacy and safety.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a commonly employed therapeutic procedure for patients with Parkinson's disease uncontrolled by medical therapies. This series describes the outcomes of 79 consecutive patients that underwent bilateral STN DBS at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery between November 2002 and November 2008 using an MRI-guided surgic...
متن کاملA cost analysis of intraoperative microelectrode recording during subthalamic stimulation for Parkinson's disease.
Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus is the standard of care for treating medically intractable Parkinson's disease. Although the adjunct of microelectrode recording improves the targeting accuracy of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation in comparison with image guidance alone, there has been no investigation of the financial cost of intraoperative microelectrode recording.
