Background:

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a crucial therapy for neurological disorders.
Accurate localization and orientation of DBS electrodes are vital for effective treatment.
Current tracking methods have limitations in precision.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the accuracy of magnetoencephalography (MEG) for detecting directional DBS electrode position and orientation.
To establish a benchmark for MEG-based DBS electrode localization.

Main Methods:

A directional DBS electrode and stimulator were placed in a head phantom.
Measurements were conducted using a state-of-the-art MEG scanner.
Finite element modeling and fitting were employed for localization and orientation computation.

Main Results:

The DBS electrode was localized with a mean accuracy of 2.2 mm.
Rotational orientation was determined with a mean accuracy of 11°.
MEG system's measurement precision limited detection accuracy.

Conclusions:

MEG shows promise for accurate directional DBS electrode localization and orientation detection.
Achieved accuracy represents a lower bound for clinical application in patients.
Future high-precision magnetic systems could further enhance DBS electrode tracking capabilities.
