    A novel skull-mounted stereotactic system offers the accuracy of traditional devices for various neurosurgical applications. This advanced imaging-based system is convenient, adaptable, and affordable for physicians.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Medical Devices
    • Image-Guided Therapy

    Background:

    • Traditional stereotactic systems often require rigid head fixation.
    • Skull-mounted systems offer potential advantages in patient comfort and procedural flexibility.
    • There is a need for advanced, imaging-based stereotactic devices that are accurate and versatile.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a novel, imaging-based, skull-mounted stereotactic system.
    • To assess the system's accuracy, adaptability, and clinical utility in neurosurgical procedures.
    • To compare the system's performance with traditional frame-based stereotactic devices.

    Main Methods:

    • A stereotactic system was designed using interlocking discs secured to the skull.
    • The system integrates with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA), and conventional X-ray.

  • Clinical applications included biopsies and interstitial radiation implant procedures.

    • Main Results:

    • The system demonstrated accuracy comparable to traditional frame-based devices.
    • It proved effective for various applications, including biopsies and radiation implants.
    • The system allowed re-access to intracranial targets without rescanning, demonstrating patient and physician convenience.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel skull-mounted stereotactic system is an advanced, imaging-based device with high accuracy.
    • It offers a versatile, convenient, and affordable alternative to traditional stereotactic systems.
    • The system is well-tolerated and suitable for a range of neurosurgical interventions.
