Angiographic localizer for the BRW stereotactic system.
Preliminary experience with a newly constructed angiographic localizer system for use in stereotactic neurosurgery is reported. This localizer ring, mounted on the BRW head ring, allows for the transformation of target points with known stereotactic coordinates (e.g., visible on computerized tomography scans) onto angiograms, as well as the determination of stereotactic coordinates of a set of points (e.g., arteriovenous malformations) indicated on at least two angiograms.
