Abstract

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical treatment for neurological disorders often planned with 1.5-T or 3-T MRI. The clinical efficacy of DBS can be improved using ultrahigh-field (UHF) MRI for planning by increasing the level of precision required for an individualized approach.

Keywords: MRI; Parkinson’s disease; basal ganglia; deep brain stimulation; subthalamic nucleus; ultra high field.
