Summary

Up to now more than 600 patients have been treated according to the previously described method of CT-stereotaxy. In order to use this method, a special holder for the stereotactic device is required. This device must be exactly adjustable to the centre of the CT gantry within two spatial directions. The accuracy of the method is higher than 1 mm.
