Mapping Motor Pathways in Parkinson ’s Disease Patients with Subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulator: A Diffusion MRI Tractography Study

ConclusionsDTI scanning is safe and delineation of white matter pathway is feasible for PD patients implanted with the DBS device. Postoperative DTI is a useful technique to strengthen our current understanding of the therapeutic effect of DBS for PD and has the potential to refine target selection strategies for brain stimulation.
