CT-guided stereotactic neurosurgery: experience in 24 cases with a new stereotactic system.
Twenty-four cases have been operated upon using a prototype Brown-Roberts-Wells, CT-guided stereotactic neurosurgical system. This device has proved to be practical and flexible in clinical use. No CT scanner modifications were required, a fact which simplified its use in more than one hospital. Multiple targets can be biopsied with ease and relative safety. Drainage and other therapeutic proce...
متن کاملDevelopment of a sterilizable MRI-compatible manipulator for stereotactic neurosurgery
[Introduction] Almost of all needle insertion manipulator for stereotactic neurosurgery use computed tomography (CT) to scan the brain of the patient before and during operation. Currently, we are developing a needle insertion manipulator for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided neurosurgery. MRI techniques are getting attractive now for the development of interventional MRI therapies and op...
متن کاملImage overlay for CT-guided needle insertions.
OBJECTIVE We present a 2D image overlay device to assist needle placement on computed tomography (CT) scanners. MATERIALS AND METHODS The system consists of a flat display and a semitransparent mirror mounted on the gantry. When the physician looks at the patient through the mirror, the CT image appears to be floating inside the body with correct size and position as if the physician had 2D '...
متن کاملSimulation for Robotic Stereotactic Neurosurgery
Through the development of different research and commercial systems, robotic neurosurgery slowly becomes more standard in the medical field. Beyond other advantages, the possibility of frameless neurosurgery is an important reason for their consideration. However, the use of robots in these applications brings problems regarding robot-patient positioning and possible influence of kinematic res...
متن کاملStereotactic neurosurgery for movement disorders.
Stereotactic neurosurgery for the treatment of movement disorders focuses primarily on the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD), essential tremor (ET), and dystonia. The surgical targets in use are the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and the globus pallidus internus (GPi) for PD, GPi for dystonia, and ventralis intermedius (Vim) nucleus of the thalamus for ET. Following target selection, procedures ...
