Stereotactic CT scanning for the biopsy of intracranial lesions and functional neurosurgery. 1983

P J Kelly, and B Kall, and S Goerss

This report describes a system for incorporation of stereotactic CT scanning data, stereotactic arteriographic data and a computer-generated stereotactic atlas into a three-dimensional matrix utilizing an operating room computer. 86 patients have undergone computer-assisted stereotactic biopsies of intracranial lesions without mortality or neurologic morbidity. Neuroablative and neuroaugmentative procedures have been performed on 5 patients using the CT stereotactic atlas with good correlation with target points determined by ventriculography and microelectrode recording.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
D001927 Brain Diseases Pathologic conditions affecting the BRAIN, which is composed of the intracranial components of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. This includes (but is not limited to) the CEREBRAL CORTEX; intracranial white matter; BASAL GANGLIA; THALAMUS; HYPOTHALAMUS; BRAIN STEM; and CEREBELLUM.
