Computer-assisted Treatment Of Brain Lesions With The Aid Of 3-13 Images

A frameless stereotaxic device can make retrospective use of medical images in order to guide treatment of brain lesions. For example, computer-simulated incision contous, drawn on 3-D brain images derived from MRI data, can be eansfened lxeoperatively to the patient’s head. Radiotherapy play. drawn on CT images. can be used to steer radiation beams over a pabent. The.se applications will be illustrated with experimental data from phantoms, volunteers. and patients.
