CT analysis of postoperative changes after thalamotomy for Parkinson's disease.
Stereotactic operations have long been used to relieve agitation and muscle rigidity in Parkinson disease. Because of its high-density resolution, CT is quite effective to portray the location, size, shape and density of the thermocoagulative focus. The foci were classified into different types according to their changes in different time periods. Correlation with pathological changes was discussed.
