Poster presented at the Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) annual meeting 2009 shows accuracy of NBS for preoperative functional diagnostics

A new poster on Navigated Brian Stimulation (NBS) was presented at the Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) annual meeting 2009 in New Orleans from the Department of Neurosurgery, Charité Universitaetsmedizin, Berlin.

The poster shows the main findings from a series of 48 patients with rolandic tumors investigated by the Charité clinicians. The agreement between NBS and DCS could be studied in 21 patients. The main findings are shown below. The clinicians concluded that "nTMS enabled them to delineate distinct cortical muscle representations at a high degree of accuracy in cases of rolandic tunors with severely distorted cortical anatomy, regardless of the patient's motor status."
