Stereotactic implantation of iridium192 into CNS neoplasms.
A new method of stereotactic implantation of Iridium192 into CNS neoplasms is presented along with a method for tumor localization by computerized axial tomography, stereotactic angiography and stereotactic serial biopsies. A case treated with this technique is presented with an encouraging short term result.
