[Cerebral digital tomosynthetic angiography for planning stereotactic biopsy of brain tumor].
We used cerebral digital tomosynthetic angiography for planning the probe trajectory of stereotactic biopsy of brain tumors in four patients. The probe trajectory was basically planned by MRI examinations. However, cerebral digital tomosynthetic angiography demonstrated detailed three-dimensional vascular anatomy around the brain tumors, and therefore was very helpful in revising the planned trajectory when there was a fairly large vessel likely to cross with it.
