Precise three-dimensional (3D) localisation of the four-contact zone of the electrode can be obtained by CT identification of the limits of the lateral black artefact. The relative position of the four contacts is deduced from the size of the contacts and the inter-contact distance. Sagittal and coronal reconstructions along the electrode direction should be considered for the identification of the four electrode contacts. CT offers a useful alternative to post-operative MRI.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
