Abstract
Background And Purpose:
Description and critical review of our procedure of definition of the target of irradiation of a cerebral arteriovenous malformations.
Patients:
and method. Fixation of the stereotactic frame, performing of stereotactic angiography and CT scanner were described, and the target including nidus and venous collectors of the a cerebral arteriovenous malformations defined.
Conclusion:
The use of several three-dimensional imaging techniques can improve and simplify the method of delineating target with a reduction of radio-induced complications.
