Individualised connectomic-guided radiosurgical thalamotomy for chronic pain
Connectomic-guided radiosurgery is a feasible approach that enables precise, patient-specific targeting pain management. Auto-segmentation of PVG and VPM allows dose-volume assessment, potentially correlating with clinical outcomes. Standardising connectomic-guided planning may enhance radiosurgical precision and support future clinical research in refractory pain.
