Abstract:
Current stereotactic frames for animal experimentation presume normal intracranial anatomy for atlas-directed probe placement. This is an invalid assumption for animal brain tumor models, where distortions of cerebral anatomy make image-directed stereotaxy necessary. To address this need, an accurate and reproducible magnetic resonance and computed tomographic compatible image-directed stereotactic apparatus for animal experimentation is presented.

01:10Computed Tomography
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
