Today, image-guided systems play a significant role in improving the outcome of diagnostic
and therapeutic interventions. They provide crucial anatomical information during the …

Complication mitigation in deep brain stimulation has been a topic matter of much
discussion in the literature. In this article, we examine how neurosurgeons as individuals …

OBJECTIVE High accuracy and precision are essential in stereotactic neurosurgery, as
targeting errors can significantly affect clinical outcomes. Image registration is a vital step in …

Background Stereotactic registration is the most critical step ensuring accuracy in deep brain
stimulation (DBS) surgery. 3D fluoroscopy (XT) is emerging as an alternative to CT. XT has …

Background Frame registration is a critical step to ensure accurate electrode placement in
stereotactic procedures such as stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) and is routinely …

Purpose In the absence of an intraoperative CT or MRI setup, post-implantation confirmation
of electrode position in deep brain stimulation (DBS) requires patient transportation to the …

Introduction: DBS efficacy depends on accuracy. CT-MRI fusion is established for both
stereotactic registration and electrode placement verification. The desire to streamline DBS …

Hodge et al 1 treated 47 patients with different movement disorders, mainly essential tremor
and Parkinson disease with 82 leads implanted in the thalamus (ventral intermediate …

Background: The effectiveness of deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery critically depends on
accurate electrode position. An anatomical post-implantation confirmation of the electrode …

Stereotactic electrode placement ideally minimizes patient discomfort, limits possible
radiation exposure, and optimizes operating room efficiency without sacrificing the accuracy …
