Neurosurgery

The Navigated Brain Stimulation (NBS) System from Nexstim creates an accurate and detailed map of the critical functions of the cortex using a standard MRI brain scan.

The Nexstim NBS System offers neurosurgeons a safe and painless alternative to direct cortical stimulation that can be performed in comfort prior to surgery. 3-D cortical maps help visualize surgical strategies and give additional information to help patient and physician discuss outcomes.

NBS allows confident interpretation of measurement results since it is a direct method, like electrocortical stimulation. Avoiding the uncertainty of indirect methods, like fMRI for example, is a crucial advantage in neurosurgical decision making. NBS also performs cortical mapping faster and more cost-effectively than alternative functional imaging modalities.
