Intracranial tumor biopsy--CT-guided stereotactic surgery. 1985

A modification of Gildenberg's technique for brain tumor biopsy is described. Marking the light beam of the gantry on the scalp with a pencil, when the lesion appears on the screen, no ScoutView is necessary. With radiopaque marks on the drawn lines, the levels of the slice are transferred to a lateral conventional X-ray, for calculation of the 'Z' coordinate. 'X' and 'Y' coordinates are determined on the CT scanner.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
