    This study presents a simple, inexpensive CT-guided stereotaxy method. It requires no extra equipment and is accurate for non-functional neurosurgical procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Medical Imaging
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Computer Tomography (CT) guided stereotaxy is crucial for precise neurosurgical interventions.
    • Existing methods may require specialized or expensive equipment, limiting accessibility.
    • A need exists for cost-effective and easily implementable stereotactic guidance systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a simple, inexpensive, and accessible method for CT-guided stereotaxy.
    • To evaluate the accuracy and applicability of this novel stereotactic technique.
    • To facilitate the adoption of CT-guided stereotaxy in neurosurgical units without specialized hardware.

    Main Methods:

    • A manual information transfer technique from transaxial CT sections to skull X-rays was developed.

  • Scout view CT images were utilized to bridge imaging data to the stereotactic frame.
  • No additional interface equipment between the CT scanner and stereotactic frame was required.

    • Main Results:

    • The described method is simple and inexpensive to implement.
    • It requires no extra equipment, making it adaptable for most neurosurgical units.
    • The technique proved sufficiently accurate for non-functional stereotactic procedures over a 30-month trial period.

    Conclusions:

    • This manual CT-guided stereotaxy method offers a practical and cost-effective solution.
    • Its ease of adoption and proven accuracy support its use in routine neurosurgical practice.
    • The technique enhances accessibility to CT-guided stereotaxy, particularly in resource-limited settings.
