    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Medical Imaging
    • Radiation Oncology

    Background:

    • Stereotactic systems are crucial for precise targeting in neurosurgery and radiation therapy.
    • Existing systems often lack universal compatibility with diverse imaging and therapeutic modalities.
    • The need for an integrated platform for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures is evident.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel stereotactic system designed for broad compatibility.
    • To highlight its function as an interface between various diagnostic and therapeutic instruments.
    • To present its practical application and integration capabilities.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a baseplate-centric stereotactic system.
    • Integration with computed tomography (CT) scanners, positron emission tomography (PET) scanners, and conventional X-ray imaging (angiograms, pneumoencephalograms).
    • Connection to stereotactic instruments and linear accelerators for therapeutic applications.

    Main Results:

    • The system functions as a universal interface for multiple diagnostic and therapeutic modalities.
    • It has been in practical use since 1976.
    • Successfully employed in various diagnostic-therapeutic combinations.

    Conclusions:

    • The described stereotactic system offers a versatile and integrated approach to patient care.
    • Its long-standing practical use demonstrates its reliability and effectiveness.
    • This system facilitates seamless transitions between diagnosis and therapy, enhancing treatment precision.
