Computer tomography-controlled stereotactic surgery.
In computed tomography (CT)-controlled stereotactic surgery, the coordinate system of the CT scanner is applied to determine the target depth and direction as well as for readjustment of final probe direction. This method can be used for all types of stereotactic surgery for the brain.
