Abstract:
An accessory locating device to the existing BRW stereotactic system is presented. It can be used as a reference device to locate angiographic data with respect to the BRW stereotactic system. Hence, the projection of target points onto angiograms, visible on CT scans, are easily calculated, as well as the stereotactic coordinates of a set of points (e.g., AVM) indicated on at least two angiograms. As a final result integrated images of cerebral blood vessels and an outline of tumor lesions can be generated using more sophisticated computer equipment.
