title: [Value of image guided neurosurgery in neuro-oncology].
abstract: Brain tumor surgery, stereotactic or by resection, is based on the precise knowledge of the spatial position of the target and of their relationships with the normal brain structures. Modern computed neuroimaging allows image guidance of neurosurgical procedures, using robots driven by the coordinates of the target and of the entry point. We have developped a stereotactic robot as well as a robotized microscope which are guided from digitized images. They are used in routine daily practice and will become part of the standard neurosurgical equipment.
