Planning functional neurosurgical procedures to minimize the effects of movement disorders requires the accurate localization of small subcortical structures for the creation of lesions (in the thalamus or the globus pallidus) or the implantation of deep brain stimulating electrodes (in structures such as the thalamus, globus pallidus, and the subthalamic nucleus). Standard computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging techniques (MRI) have limited signal, resolution, and contrast in subcortical regions, thereby complicating target localization. Modern imaging and image processing techniques have demonstrated that targets are better identified using digital atlases which can be customized to each patients unique anatomy. In this t...
