Image-guided neurosurgery.
Accurate localization of lesions and minimization of trauma to the surrounding brain are of paramount importance in intracranial surgery. Stereotactic frame systems provide highly accurate methods of localization, which has been further enhanced by the introduction of sophisticated imaging modalities, and recently by the development of interactive image-guided neurosurgical technology.
