    This study details modifications to a stereotaxic frame for computed tomographic (CT)-guided biopsies, demonstrating a cost-effective approach. Early clinical experience in four patients validates the adapted system for CT-guided stereotaxic biopsy procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Medical Imaging
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Computed tomographic (CT)-guided stereotaxic procedures are increasingly utilized but lack a standardized optimal system.
    • Modifying existing stereotaxic frames for CT adaptation offers a cost-effective alternative to developing new dedicated systems.

    Observation:

    • A stereotaxic frame at Duke University Medical Center was modified for CT guidance due to its adaptable design.
    • This modification proved more economical than constructing a new, specialized frame.

    Findings:

    • The report documents the specific modifications made to the stereotaxic frame.
    • Early clinical application involved four patients undergoing CT-guided stereotaxic biopsy procedures using the adapted system.

    Implications:

    • This approach provides a practical, cost-effective solution for centers seeking to implement CT-guided stereotaxic biopsies.
    • The documented modifications and clinical experience can guide other institutions in adapting their own stereotaxic equipment.
