Abstract

Computer stereotaxy (2, 3) can be combined with modern computer tomographic systems to achieve directly, without the aid of invasive neuroradiological techniques, a precise presentation and targetting of the morphological structure (1, 4–7). We have now further developed our own procedure, based on the fact that with modern CT scanners it is possible to obtain from the CT scans the coordinate information necessary for the stereotactic operation.
