Clinicians at the Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany explain how a new functional mapping technique, Navigated Brain Stimulation (NBS), is used for presurgical mapping in neurosurgery. They also show the value of using NBS-defined motor areas in the cortex for "seeding" diffusion tensor imaging, an imaging technique which enables visualization of fiber tracts in the white matter of the brain.
NBS is an accurate and reliable noninvasive method for functional brain mapping, based on navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). The NBS System is available from Nexstim Oy, Helsinki, Finland. www.nexstim.com/

INDICATIONS FOR USE
NBS (FDA K112881): The Nexstim Navigated Brain Stimulation (NBS) System 5 is indicated for non-invasive mapping of the primary motor cortex of the brain to its cortical gyrus. The Nexstim NBS System 5 provides information that may be used in the assessment of the primary motor cortex for pre-procedural planning.
The Nexstim NBS System 5 is not intended to be used during a surgical procedure. The Nexstim NBS System 5 is intended to be used by trained clinical professionals.
Nexstim NexSpeech®, when used together with the NBS System 5, is indicated for non-invasive localization of cortical areas that do not contain essential speech function. NexSpeech® provides information that may be used in pre-surgical planning in patients undergoing brain surgery. Intra-operatively, the localization information provided by NexSpeech® is intended to be verified by direct cortical stimulation.
The Nexstim NBS System 5 with NexSpeech® is not intended to be used during a surgical procedure. The Nexstim NBS System 5 with NexSpeech® is intended to be used by trained clinical professionals.
