Volumetric Stereotaxis and Computer-Assisted Stereotactic Resection of Subcortical Lesions

Intracranial tumor volume can be defined in stereotactic space by computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or serial stereotactic biopsies [2, 18, 21]. The defined volume can be treated by stereotactically implanted interstitial radionuclide sources, which create a therapeutic isodose configuration geometrically fitted to the defined tumor volume [24, 26, 27]. Alternatively, the tumor volume can be interactively resected by the computer-assisted stereotactic laser procedure described in this chapter [14, 17, 25].
