title: Stereotactic external beam irradiation system.
abstract: Stereotactic localization is of vital importance in treating small intracranial lesions either with interstitial or external beam irradiation. This article describes a simple, fast, accurate, and verifiable system that can be used with a standard computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner and linear accelerator for stereotactic external beam irradiation.
