title: Modification of the Gouda frame to allow stereotactic biopsy of the brain using the GE 8800 computed tomographic scanner.
abstract: The Gouda stereotactic frame has been modified to interface with the GE 8800 scanner. The patient, attached to the frame, is scanned and then moved to the operating room for a stereotactic biopsy. This is a safe, accurate method of obtaining biopsy specimens of otherwise inaccessible tumors of the brain.
