    This study describes an adaptation for computed tomography (CT) compatible stereotactic apparatus. A new localization system ensures accurate CT data translation for surgical navigation.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Medical Imaging
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Stereotactic surgery requires precise localization of targets within the brain.
    • Existing stereotactic systems may not be directly compatible with modern imaging modalities like computed tomography (CT).
    • Integrating CT data into stereotactic procedures can enhance surgical accuracy and planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe an adaptation enabling a popular stereotactic apparatus to be compatible with computed tomography (CT).
    • To present a novel localization system for accurate CT data integration into stereotactic space.
    • To facilitate improved surgical navigation in stereotactic procedures using CT data.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of an adaptation for an existing stereotactic apparatus.

  • Integration of a localization system with the stereotactic head holder.
  • Implementation of a computer program for CT data translation.

    • Main Results:

    • The adapted stereotactic apparatus is compatible with computed tomography (CT).
    • The localization system accurately translates CT data into the stereotactic space.
    • The system allows for precise targeting in the operating room.

    Conclusions:

    • The described adaptation successfully integrates computed tomography (CT) with stereotactic surgery.
    • This innovation enhances the utility of existing stereotactic equipment.
    • The system offers a practical solution for accurate CT-guided stereotactic interventions.
