Abstract/OtherAbstract:
When a CT-guided stereotactic technique for functional neurosurgery is adopted, extremely precise targeting is needed to obtain satisfactory surgical results. In this study the authors have investigated the accuracy of the target points determined by CT-guided techniques and compared with those of conventional roentgenographically controlled stereotactic procedures. Stereotactic surgery, employing the Brown-Roberts-Wells (BRW) system, was performed contemporarily 26 times in 23 patients, that is, 9 times in 8 patients for functional neurosurgery using with the roentgenographic method, and 17 times in 15 patients with the CT-guided method only for intracranial neoplasm biopsy. As a result, there were no problems of accuracy of determining the target points by CT-guided stereotactic surgery with the BRW system. When applying this technique for functional neurosurgery, it should be pointed out that there could be a discrepancy within 2 mm from the conventional target determination.
