Validation of CT targeting for functional stereotaxis with postoperative magnetic resonance imaging.
Using postoperative magnetic resonance imaging the accuracy of CT-guided three-dimensional targeting of stereotactic thalamotomy for movement disorders was demonstrated in 13 patients. CT guidance should be adopted for functional neurosurgery in preference to ventriculographic guidance as it can be shown to be sufficiently accurate and it is far less disturbing to the patient.
