Background. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is one of the standard surgical treatments for advanced Parkinson's disease. However, it has been difficult to accurately localize the stimulated contact area of the electrode in the subthalamic nucleus and its adjacent structures using a two-dimensional atlas. The goal of this study is to verify the real and detailed localization of stimulated contact of the DBS electrode therapeutically inserted into the STN and its adjacent structures using a novel computed three-dimensional atlas built by a personal computer. Method. A three-dimensional atlas of the STN and its adjacent structures (3D-Subthalamus atlas) was elaborated on the basis of sagittal slices from the Schaltenbrand and Wahren stereotactic atlas on a personal computer utilizing a commercial software. The electrode inserted into the STN and its adjacent structures was superimposed on our 3D-Subthalamus atlas based on intraoperative third ventriculography in 11 cases. Findings. Accurate localization of the DBS electrode was identified using the 3D-Subthalamus atlas, and its clinical efficacy of the electrode stimulation was investigated in all 11 cases. Conclusion. This study demonstrates that the 3D-Subthalamus atlas is a useful tool for understanding the morphology of deep brain structures and for the precise anatomical position findings of the stimulated contact of a DBS electrode. The clinical analysis using the 3D atlas supports the contention that the stimulation of structures adjacent to the STN, particularly the zona incerta or the field of Forel H, is as effective as the stimulation of the STN itself for the treatment of advanced Parkinson's disease.

“…To combine the widely accepted stereotactic printed atlases with the capabilities offered by electronic atlases, several printed atlases have been converted into electronic form, including: Schaltenbrand-Bailey atlas [29], [34], [101]; Schaltenbrand-Wahren atlas [32], [51], [53), [81); Talairach-Tournoux atlas [29], [53]; Referentially Oriented Talairach-Tournoux atlas [53]; Ono et al atlas [54]; Afshar et al atlas [50] and Van Buren-Borke atlas [29]. Computerized versions of printed atlases may vary substantially from a simple, direct digitization of the original material to a sophisticated, fully segmented, labeled, enhanced, and three-dimensionally extended deformable atlas.…”

“…Giorgi and Cerchiari 19 suggest conformal mapping procedures implying curvilinear coordinate transformations using a set of corresponding reference points in patient and atlas data. Although several parallel implementations of the atlas of Schaltenbrand and Wahren 15,16,17,21,24,2v,31,32,48 are available at present, reports on the evaluation remain scanty and unsystematic 15. Additionally, there is the coexistence of the horizontal, sagittal and frontal series of Schaltenbrand and Wahren 44, which is hardly debated.…”

The Schaltenbrand and Wahren stereotactic atlas was critically re-examined focusing on the technical quality and the consistency of the horizontal, sagittal and frontal microscopic cut series. From each series, both an isotropic contour and a solid volume model represented by a 256 matrix with an edge length of 6.4 cm were created using 3D-interpolation. Reslicing of the solid volumes in corresponding orthogonal planes enabled thorough direct comparison of the three series. In a 3D-navigation system prototype, the contour models can be matched to MRI and CT series. Different procedures for rigid matching including landmark matching were implemented. As regards the verification criteria, the frontal Schaltenbrand and Wahren series yielded the most comprehensible results whereas in the horizontal and sagittal series artifacts appear more pronounced.
