    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Medical Imaging
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Stereotactic surgery requires precise localization of targets within the body.
    • Conventional stereotactic methods can be time-consuming and may lack accuracy with advanced imaging.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a modified stereotactic method for coordinate determination.
    • To adapt existing stereotactic localization procedures for use with X-ray tomography, including CT scanning.

    Main Methods:

    • Modification of a standard stereotactic technique.
    • Adaptation of the localization procedure for CT scanning and conventional tomography.
    • Integration with standard CT body scanners and X-ray tomographs.

    Main Results:

    • The technique allows for rapid determination of instrument coordinates.
    • The method provides accurate localization of the surgical target.
    • The procedure is compatible with existing tomographic imaging equipment.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified stereotactic method offers a fast and accurate approach for target localization.
    • This technique is versatile and can be employed with various X-ray tomographic devices.
    • The presented method enhances surgical precision in stereotactic procedures.
