This study presents a CT-guided stereotactic method using scalp markers and new software, avoiding skull fixation for probe insertion. This technique achieves acceptable accuracy for targets over one centimeter, offering an alternative when head fixation is not feasible.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Stereotactic neurosurgery traditionally requires rigid head fixation for accurate targeting.
  • Existing methods may be invasive or uncomfortable for patients.
  • The Brain Research Laboratories (BRW) frame is a standard tool in stereotactic procedures.
