Target localization on standard axial images in computed tomography (CT) stereotaxis for functional neurosurgery—a technical note

  • Published:
Acta Neurochirurgica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A simple technique for marking functional neurosurgery target on computed tomography (CT) axial image is described. This permits the use of standard axial image for computed tomography (CT) stereotaxis in functional neurosurgery.
