    An approach to stereotaxic radiography (1980)
    Springer
    Acta neurochirurgica 54 (1980), S. 157-165 
    Details
    ISSN: 0942-0940
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary A simple approach to stereotaxic radiography, including a new method for determination of target coordinates, is described. The proposed technique may be used in combination with conventional equipment for roentgen eximinations available in X-ray departments and operating rooms; the only additional outfit needed is a coordinate frame that can be attached to the patient's head. Determination of the coordinates is easily made graphically, or from a simple equation using a pocket calculator or a mini-computer.

    Head fixation system for integration of radiodiagnostic and therapeutic procedures (1980)
    Springer
    Neuroradiology 19 (1980), S. 1-6

    Notes: Summary A head fixation system is described enabling exact transfer of positions between neuroradiological and therapeutic procedures. The key item of the system is a base plate that is rigidly attached to the patient's head, either by a plastic mould or screws onto the calvarium. The base plate may easily and accurately be attached to diagnostic or therapeutic units. Coordinates of target points in the various units are directly related through the exact application of the base plate. Procedures for the exact comparison of spatial information have been worked out. The system has been used for diagnostic procedures such as plain skull radiography, cerebral angiography, CT scanning, positron emission tomography, and gamma camera examinations, as well as for therapeutic procedures such as stereotaxic biopsy and radiation treatment.

    Attenuation profiles of the petrous bone with acoustic neuroma (1980)
    Springer
    Neuroradiology 19 (1980), S. 123-129 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1920
    Keywords: Computed tomography ; Acoustic neuroma ; Internal auditory meatus ; Attenuation profiles
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary Attenuation profiles across the petrous bone covering the whole internal auditory meatus (IAM) were constructed from the printouts obtained by computed tomography (CT) with narrow collimation performed on 12 patients with 13 acoustic neuromas. In healthy patients the attenuation profiles of right and left petrous bone were very similar in shape. The attenuation values of the individual pixels in the pixel columns of the printout located at the site of the porus and the IAM reflected the demineralization of the petrous bone and the widening of the porus and the IAM caused by the acoustic neuroma. A widening deep in the meatus was demonstrated in a patient with an intracanalicular tumor, and therefore it seems possible to make this diagnosis by CT scanning combined with the construction of attenuation profiles across the petrous bone. In the presence of unilateral acoustic neuroma there was a significant and characteristic difference in shape between the attenuation profiles of the two sides with generally lower attenuation values on the tumor side together with signs of widening of the porus and the IAM. In cases of bilateral acoustic neuroma comparison of the attenuation profiles can be made with mean attenuation curves obtained from scanning normal petrous bones. The prevailing physical limitations for demonstrating a narrow bony canal like the IAM with CT was experimentally analyzed using bone-simulating plastic material.

    A critical evaluation of two methods of head fixation (1980)
    Springer
    Neuroradiology 19 (1980), S. 7-12 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1920
    Keywords: Computed tomography ; Stereotactic techniques
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary Two head-fixation systems, one using Thermoplast and the other Lightcast were tested as to reproducibility by comparing stereotactic coordinates before and after CT scan and after removal and reapplication of the helmets. Helmets constructed of Lightcast were more consistently stable than those constructed of Thermoplast probably due in part to the dental fixation used with the former. With Lightcast the change in position of coordinates was consistently less than 3 mm, i.e. 2 pixels, which is within the tolerance of the system as a whole.
