Postdoc Mikkel V. Petersen MD has received 954.400 dkk from 'Jascha Fonden' for the project 'Optimising deep brain stimulation treatment for movement disorders: towards patient specific planning and stimulation management'

This project aims to implement and evaluate the clinical use of advanced preoperative MRI sequences (QSM and ms-DWI) in Parkinson's disease patients undergoing deep brain stimulation treatment. To achieve this, the project will combine these new imaging modalities with established procedures for automated electrode reconstructions, stimulation field modelling and clinical assessments.
