Introduction: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a well-established treatment for movement disorders. High magnetic fields could have an impact on distortion. We evaluated 1.5- and 3-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences for accuracy, precision, and trueness of our MRI-guided direct targeting protocol. Methods: Effects of distortion on MR sequences (T1- and T2-weighted sequences) can be evaluated using a dedicated phantom (Elekta). Field strength capabilities were assessed on Siemens Avanto (1.5...

It is of great importance to neurologists because of the potentially devastating complication of paraplegia, which may set in during active disease or the healed phase. Due to the deep-seated nature of the disease, definitive diagnosis is often challenging. There is no clear consensus on the appropriate duration of therapy for spinal tuberculosis,...
