Helping preserve what's vital

NBS is a new technique for accurately and reliably mapping the brain's vital functions. NBS is noninvasive, which means it can be used for planning, prior to neurosurgery. Using harmless magnetic fields, NBS is a comfortable and safe method for brain mapping in adults or children with a diagnosis of tumor or epilepsy.

The NBS System is as accurate as the "gold standard" of intraoperative direct cortical stimulation, and has been cleared by the FDA for functional mapping of the motor and speech cortices. Using NBS can enable more patients to be offered a surgical option and may lower risk of damage to eloquent cortex.

NBS makes stimulation visible in the brain

NBS uses navigated TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation). Navigation is based on the patient´s MRI scan and proprietary electric field modeling, allowing the NBS System to uniquely show the location and orientation of TMS-stimuli inside the brain.
