Deep Brain Stimulation and Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Future Directions

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Deep Brain Stimulation

Abstract

Technological advances have shaped how deep brain stimulation (DBS) is considered and delivered to patients (Krauss JK et al. Nat Rev Neurol. 2021;17(2):75–87; Lozano AM et al. Nat Rev Neurol. 2019;15(3):148–60; Vedam-Mai V et al. Front Hum Neurosci. 2021;15:644593. Improvements in hardware design, stimulation delivery, and—as emphasized in this book—magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will continue to advance DBS technology. While we often simplistically equate MRI to picture taking, it is in fact a highly sophisticated—and arguably underutilized—tool involving engineers, physicists, and clinicians that allows us to capture rich and detailed information about the brain’s structure and function.
