Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) During Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) to Treat Parkinson's Disease

During the deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery of the subthalamic nucleus within the thalamocortical basal ganglion, an additional lead extendor will be connected to the DBS electrode to allow externalization of the lead. Following confirmation of electrode location with MRI, a series of fMRI scans will be run. Total scanning time will be limited to 35 minutes.
