Precision Stereotactic Frameless Neuronavigation

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

We describe here a method using an original means of marking the patient’s head to obtain a significant increase in the accuracy of frameless neuronavigation to the level of accuracy of classical stereotaxis. This method opens up wide perspectives for the use of frameless neuronavigation for stereotaxic interventions on the brain.
