    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Medical Imaging
    • Radiotherapy

    Background:

    • A noninvasive stereotactic adapter was initially designed for image-guided tumor biopsy.
    • This device has demonstrated broad applicability beyond its original surgical intent.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the diverse applications of a noninvasive stereotactic adapter in neurosurgery and radiation therapy.
    • To highlight recent advancements enabling frameless procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for guidance.
    • Applying the stereotactic adapter for morphological and functional neurosurgery.
    • Employing the adapter for stereotactic angiography and external beam radiotherapy.
    • Integrating a phantom base for frameless percutaneous procedures.

    Main Results:

    • The adapter facilitates various functional stereotactic procedures (thalamotomy, etc.).
    • It is effective for stereotactic angiography and external irradiation of brain tumors.
    • The device aids in locating subcortical brain tumors for open surgery.
    • A new phantom base allows frameless percutaneous tumor biopsy and ventriculostomy.

    Conclusions:

    • The noninvasive stereotactic adapter is a highly adaptable tool in neurosurgery.
    • Recent modifications enhance its utility for minimally invasive, frameless interventions.
    • The technology expands options for brain tumor diagnosis and treatment.
