VOLUME OF TISSUE ACTIVATED
- From electrode coordinates to the actual stimulation field
- LEAD + FIELD
- VTA
- VTA: THE BRIDGE BETWEEN SURGERY AND PROGRAMMING
- LEAD LOCATION — Where the contacts are
- STIMULATION PARAMETERS — Amplitude • PW • frequency • configuration
- ELECTRIC FIELD — How current spreads
- ANATOMY / TRACTS — What structures and fibres are recruited
- CLINICAL EFFECT — Benefit + adverse effects
- PEARL • “The lead is in the target” is incomplete. Ask: “What tissue is the stimulation actually activating?”
