title: Application of multimodality imaging stereotactic localization in the surgical management of vascular lesions.
abstract: Multidimensional image preplanning and accurate pre and intraoperative localization for intracranial vascular lesions have been implemented. Methodology include carbon fiber base ring, localizer plates, any X-ray tubes, PC compatible software and intraoperative localizing unit. Surgical management of deep arteriovenous malformations is especially suitable for this technique, including the use of intraoperative digital angiography.
