Stereotaxy

Stereotaxy describes a neurosurgical procedure that is characterized by image-guided and computer-assisted targeting systems to ensure the exact position of the patient in relation to the therapy device.

Stereotaxy is a neurosurgical technique that can take several hours to reach a specific target, typically utilizing a mechanical frame and guided by preoperative imaging. An error in any one of the numerous steps or deviations of the target anatomy from the preoperative plan such as brain shift (up to mm), may affect the targeting accuracy and thus the treatment effectiveness ¹⁾.
