Visualization of the STN, MRI-guided targeting and immediate postoperative verification of final electrode position. Axial stereotactic 3D T2-weighted SPACE MRI at 3.0 T through the inferior portion of the STN. This sequence is used for both targeting the STN and localization of the Leksell Vantage frame. Blue and red bullets are indicating the patient-specific intended target at the left and right side respectively, with the corresponding lines indicating the planned trajectories. The orange metal artefacts indicate the position of the final electrodes of the same patient, verified by co-registering an immediate postoperative stereotactic CT to the 3D T2-weighted SPACE MRI.
