Image-guided neurosurgery. 1998

W D Tobler
University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and The Christ Hospital, Cincinnati, Ohio.

The linking of digitizing pointers to computer programs that reformat diagnostic studies has resulted in the development of image-guided surgery, also called frameless stereotactic surgery. With frameless stereotaxy, the neurosurgeon transposes the three-dimensional physical space of the patient's skull and cranial contents in the operating room with the three-dimensional image space of preoperative computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans shown in the computer.
