A new targeting device for stereotaxic procedures within the CT scanner
Description
A new targeting device is reported which makes it possible to perform stereotaxic procedures within CT scanners under tomographic control. The zero position of the biopsy neddle is the reference point for all measurements. The head of the anesthetized patient is immobilized with firm plastic cushions in a special head holder. This unit can be used for biopsies, preoperative marking of small lesions, therapeutic punctures, and placement of radioactive substances into inoperable brain tumors. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
Es wird ueber ein neuartiges Zielsystem berichtet, das stereotaktische Verfahren bei CT-Scannern ermoeglicht. Referenzpunkt fuer alle Messsungen ist die Nullstellung der Biopsienadel. Der Kopf des anaestetisierten Patienten wird mit festen Plastikkissen in einer speziellen Kopfhalterung fixiert. Das Geraet kann fuer Biopsien, praeoperative Markierung kleiner Laesionen, therapeutische Punkturen und das Einbringen radioaktiver Substanzen in inoperable Gehirntumore eingesetzt werden.
