Accuracy of different three-dimensional subcortical human brain atlases for DBS -lead localisation

Conclusion: Lead reconstruction after normalization into the MNI template space and application of four different atlases led to different results in terms of the DBS lead position relative to the STN. Based on electrophysiological and imaging data, the DISTAL atlas led to the most accurate display of the reconstructed DBS lead relative to the DISTAL-based STN.
