Over the last years, deep brain stimulation has seen many technological innovations. New electrode designs allowing to direct the current flow not only in the vertical but also in the horizontal plane are the most recent. We summarize the concept of "directional deep brain stimulation" with its opportunities and challenges and the available study data and discuss the use of imaging techniques to assist programming deep brain stimulation devices.
在过去的几年中,深部脑刺激技术经历了许多技术创新。最近的创新包括新的电极设计,允许电流不仅在垂直方向上,而且在水平方向上流动。我们总结了“定向深部脑刺激”的概念及其带来的机遇和挑战,以及现有的研究数据,并讨论了使用成像技术来辅助深部脑刺激设备的编程。
