Michelle GibbsGUEST
So just like jumping back, Kevin, like you kind of got the green light to say you were going to be successful at going through because in our centre in Newcastle, once those patients have had a levodopa response test, they have had the neuropsychology assessment and they've had an MRI scan of their brain.

Michelle GibbsGUEST
And we just do that MRI scan to sort of look for anything structural, like an abnormality that might stop the surgeons from placing the leads inside the target of the brain.

Michelle GibbsGUEST
We're not looking for problems, but we're just making sure that the surgery is there's nothing in the way.

Michelle GibbsGUEST
And once those three things have been done, we have a big conversation about the patients in our MDT.

Michelle GibbsGUEST
And we all put our opinions forward about what we think is best in terms of where we're going to put the leads in the brain.

Michelle GibbsGUEST
You know, do the pictures look good? What are the sort of the wish list of the patient? What are our end goals that we're looking for to try and help and treat in terms of the DBS? And then we're looking at the response to the levodopa.
