title: Stereotaxic frame and computer software for CT-directed neurosurgical localization.
abstract: A clinical stereotaxic head frame designed for use with computed tomography (CT) body scanners is described. Frame geometry and a CT localization system provide an accuracy and versatility that should lead to optimal clinical usefulness. Initial phantom and clinical studies are presented.
