Automated Optimization of Subcortical Cerebral MR Imaging−Atlas Coregistration for Improved Postoperative Electrode Localization in Deep Brain Stimulation

Abstract

The present method improves the registration accuracy of postoperative structural MR imaging data into MNI space within the basal ganglia, allowing automated normalization with increased precision at stereotactic targets, and enables lead-contact localization in MNI coordinates for quantitative group analysis.
