This study details neuroradiological methods for calculating stereotactic brain surgery targets using computed tomography (CT) and the Riechert-Mundinger frame. It highlights the importance of pre- and post-operative CT scans for accuracy.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Advancements in neuro-imaging have improved stereotactic surgery accuracy.
  • This has led to increased interest in image-guided brain surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the neuroradiological aspects of stereotactic target calculation using computed tomography (CT).
  • To illustrate patient positioning, CT techniques, and target identification with the Riechert-Mundinger (Fisher) frame.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Riechert-Mundinger (Fisher) stereotactic frame for target coordinate calculation (x, y, z).
  • Employed computed tomography (CT) for imaging and target localization.
  • Demonstrated selected cases with detailed patient positioning and CT techniques.

Main Results:

  • Successfully illustrated stereotactic target calculation using CT and the specified frame.
  • Emphasized the critical role of pre- and post-stereotactic CT examinations for procedural success.
  • Showcased patient positioning, CT technique, and target identification processes.

Conclusions:

  • CT-guided stereotaxis with the Riechert-Mundinger frame provides accurate target localization for brain surgery.
  • Pre- and post-operative CT scans are essential for optimizing stereotactic procedures.
  • Future advancements include MR-guided stereotaxis and integrated 3D functional-anatomical maps.
