Effect of Enlarged Perivascular Spaces in Reliable Distinction of Prospective Targeting During Deep Brain Stimulation in Patients With Advanced Parkinson's Disease: A Study of Deterministic and Probabilistic Tractography
Abstract:BACKGROUND:
Precise electrode position is vital for effective deep brain stimulation in treating motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD). Enlarged perivascular spaces (PVSs) are associated with pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases including PD and may affect the microstructure of surrounding brain tissue.
OBJECTIVE:
To quantify the clinical implications of enlarged PVS on tractography-based stereotactic targeting in patients with advanced PD… Show more
