    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Computerized tomography enhances functional stereotactic neurosurgery accuracy. While magnetic resonance imaging offers better anatomical detail, its reliability in stereotactic neurosurgery requires further investigation for precise target localization.

  • Assessing the accuracy and safety of image-guided stereotactic procedures.

    • Main Results:

    • CT-directed functional stereotaxy is a safe and effective method for target development.
    • MRI offers superior anatomical definition but raises questions about reliability.
    • Current techniques primarily aid in localizing target regions rather than identifying the precise target.

    Conclusions:

    • CT-guided stereotaxy is a reliable tool for functional neurosurgery.
    • Further research is needed to validate the reliability of MRI in stereotactic neurosurgery.
    • Intraoperative stimulation remains crucial despite advancements in imaging for target confirmation.
