title: A simple computerized tomography adapter for conventional stereotactic frame.
abstract: This paper introduces a new technique to convert a conventional Leksell stereotactic frame into a computerized tomography compatible system. Accurate calculation of the tumour coordinates can be made by means of two adapter plates with double diagonal lines on each side thus obviating the requirement of careful alignment of the scanner. The adapter plates are of simple design and easy to prepare.
