Frameless 3D volume registration of MR data sets for stereotactic pallidotomy.
Frameless 3D volume registration of Magnetic Resonance (MR) and computed (CT) data sets has been described by Kummar et al. [11]. Its use in 3D volume registration for stereotactic planning in patients undergoing pallidotomy is presented. Pre-operative examinations with the stereotactic frame and postoperative examinations without the stereotactic frame can be co-registered and reviewed for accuracy of planned and lesional coordinates.
