CT-stereotaxy in the clinical routine.

F Mundinger, W Birg

    Neurosurgical Review
    |January 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Computed tomography (CT) stereotaxy has successfully treated over 600 patients. This neurosurgical technique requires a specialized holder for precise instrument guidance, achieving sub-millimeter accuracy.
