title: Interventional neurophysiological mapping during spinal cord procedures.
abstract: As part of interventional neurophysiology's growing armamentarium, we present two intraoperative mapping techniques that can be used to guide the neurosurgeon during spinal cord procedures. They are: (1) Dorsal Column Mapping (DCM) and (2) Mapping of the Corticospinal Tract (CT) within the spinal cord. These two techniques are currently in different stages of development and clinical trials.
