Abstract
The invention concerns a device for localization of stereotactic coordinates by available MRI, CT, PET and angiogram imaging equipment in relation to known art animal stereotactic frames comprised of a pair of bars held in spaced parallel relation to each other by a cross bar that may be fixed to an operating table or the like by means of a fixing device, which connects to the instrument. The instrument may be detached from the stereotactic frame to allow for the imaging procedures. The instrument is made of non-magnetic and radiolucent material allowing for the use of magnetic material and radio-opaque stereotactic frames in combination with available MRI, CT, PET, and angiogram imaging equipment.
Claims8
A device for localisation of stereotactic coordinates for identifying a spatial position of a region of interest in an individual's skull for the performance of stereotactic procedures, said device comprising a box of non-magnetic, radiolucent material with fiducial markers and said device being attachable to a stereotactic frame.
