Pre-operative DTI and probabilisitic tractography in four patients with deep brain stimulation for chronic pain

Abstract This study aimed to examine, using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), differences in electrode placement in four patients undergoing deep brain stimulation for chronic neuropathic pain of varying aetiology. A pre-operative DTI was obtained for each patient, who was then implanted with deep bra...
