    Notes: Summary A method for the determination of stereotaxic coordinates in radiography, e.g. angiography, pneumoencephalography or digital vascular radiography, is described. A special localization frame containing radiopaque structures and scales defines a diagnostic coordinate system. This frame is fixed to the X-ray-table prior to the radiographic procedure and two projections are obtained at arbitrary angles to each other. The focus-film distances do not how to be fixed. The target coordinates are then determined either by a simple graphical procedure or with the use of a digitizing x-y-table, by a computer. With the computer method the films are placed on the digitizing table and the target and a few reference points are marked using a cursor. From the relative positions the computer calculates the coordinates. With the special head fixation system, coordinates of structures visualized in radiographic examinations can be transferred to various therapeutic or diagnostic stereotaxic devices.

    Notes: Summary Four patients with radiologically normal pituitary gland were examined with positron emission tomography after the administration of (methyl-11C)-L-methionine. On a following day the examination was repeated with (methyl-11c)-D-methionine. The accumulation rate of L-methionine in the pituitary was measured, giving a value that was about twice that of normal brain tissue. The accumulation rate of D-methionine in the pituitary was almost a factor of 10 lower than that of L-methionine. In the normal brain tissue that ratio was 2.3. The study clearly indicates that the methionine uptake in the pituitary is stereospecific. 11C-D-methionine is freely distributed in the tissue without entrapment, whereas 11C-L-methionine is irreversibly bound. It is concluded that PET with 11C-L-methionine can be used to study amino acid utilization in the pituitary.

    Notes: Summary Special perspex adaptors with radiopaque reference structures have been constructed to fit to the Leksell stereotaxic instrument. These structures are visualized on X-ray film in a radiographic examination like angiography or encephalography. The films obtained in two projections at arbitrary angles and focus-film-distances are placed on a digitizing table for the determination of the stereotaxic coordinates of selected targets. The reference structures and the targets are marked with a cursor whereupon a desk top computer performs the calculation of the stereotaxic coordinates. The system allows a rapid, simple and accurate coordinate determination in stereotaxic radiography using the Leksell stereotaxic instrument.
