    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Medical Imaging
    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • Stereotactic procedures require precise targeting for accurate interventions.
    • Existing stereotactic systems can be complex and require extensive calculations.
    • Computed tomography (CT) offers detailed anatomical visualization crucial for surgical planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new, simple CT-oriented stereotactic system.
    • To demonstrate the system's principle of operating within the CT plane of the target.
    • To highlight the system's ease of use and applicability in standard CT scanners.

    Main Methods:

    • The system utilizes a movably mounted frame with an adjustable, sliding probe holder.
    • The frame and probe holder are adjusted within the CT plane of the target.
