The CASS (computer-assisted stereotactic surgery) system

Over the past 20 years the authors have been involved in the design and development of various aspects of multi-modality imaging for stereotaxy. The current system, which we call CASS (Computer Assisted Stereotactic Surgery), is a patented design which is capable of acquiring MR, CT, PET, SPECT, angiographic, and other images via tape, camera, Ethernet, or analog-to-digital conversion into a computer display system for multi-modality image viewing and stereotactic simulation.
