Abstract:
A quick and safe CT image-guided stereotactic thalamotomy technique that has proved ideal for alleviating medically refractory intractable pain due to malignant disease is described. A simple method of deriving cartesian coordinates for target points that facilitates functional neurosurgery using CT images and the Brown-Roberts-Wells stereotactic system is also described.
