Interventional neurophysiological mapping during spinal cord procedures

As part of interventional neurophysiology's growing armamentarium, we present two intraoperative mapping techniques that can be used to guide the neurosurgeon during spinal cord procedures. They are: (1) Dorsal Column Mapping (DCM) and (2) Mapping of the Corticospinal Tract (CT) within the spin...

Summary:As part of interventional neurophysiology's growing armamentarium, we present two intraoperative mapping techniques that can be used to guide the neurosurgeon during spinal cord procedures. They are: (1) Dorsal Column Mapping (DCM) and (2) Mapping of the Corticospinal Tract (CT) within the spinal cord. These two techniques are currently in different stages of development and clinical trials.
