    Notes: Summary On the base of a stereotactic device originally described by Riechert and Mundinger a three-dimensional localization and treatment planning system for CT-guided computer assisted stereotactic procedures has been developed. The experience with 338 patients, in which image guided stereotaxy has been used for the assessment of various intracerebral lesions, is presented. In 54 of these patients the cannula was introduced with a 20 MHz Doppler-probe positioned at the tip of the needle. A comparison of tissue specimens taken stereotactically with tissue material after tumour resection and/or autopsy was performed in 35 patients. The accuracy of the histological diagnosis was 88%. Bleeding as a complication due to the stereotactic intervention occurred in 8 patients (2.4%). Two of these patients had a fatal outcome (mortality: 0.6%). The morbidity (transient and permanent deterioration of the clinical status) was 1.2%.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary A treatment planning system for stereotactical neurosurgery has been developed. A modular system has been designed which is readily extendable. Different modalities of tomography (CT, MRI) can be correlated and presented simultaneously in transverse, frontal and sagittal reconstructions. The volumes of interest are segmented with respect to the different modalities, and the positions of the catheters are defined. The calculation of dose must be adapted to the physical requirements of the therapy and is designed as an independent process. The calculated data are shown in various presentations. The treatment planning system is applied to intratumoral chemotherapy. The drug is encapsulated in small carriers for prolonged release and injected via catheters directly into the tumor interstitium, bypassing the blood-brain barrier. The dose is calculated using the time-dependent, three-dimensional finite elements method. To achieve homogeneous temporal and spatial drug distribution it is necessary to use a great number of catheters due to the limited diffusion of drug, which is not practical in neurosurgery. Therefore this therapy concept is useful for small volumes only. Interstitial hyperthermia and brachytherapy, in contrast to intratumoral chemotherapy, show successful clinical results.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung In dieser Arbeit wird ein Therapieplanungssystem für stereotaktische Anwendungen in der Neurochirurgie vorgestellt. Das Planungssystem ist als ein modulares, leicht erweiterbares Programmpaket realisiert, mit dem man Tomographieaufnahmen verschiedener Modalitäten (CT, MRT) korreliert und darstellt, Tumor und Risikoorgane segmentiert und Katheterpositionen definiert. Für unterschiedliche Therapieformen wie interstitielle Hyperthermie, intratumorale Chemotherapie oder Brachytherapie sind die Dosisberechnungen als ein eigenständiges Programm konzipiert worden. Die berechneten Ergebnisse werden in verschiedenen Darstellungen präsentiert. Eine Anwendung für das Therapieplanungssystem ist die intratumorale Chemotherapie. Bei dieser Therapie ist der Wirkstoff in Carrier verkapselt und wird über Katheter direkt in das Tumorgewebe appliziert. Die Dosisberechnung erfolgt mit der zeitabhängigen, dreidimensionalen Finite-Elemente-Methode. Die zeitliche und räumliche Darstellung der Wirkstoffverteilung zeigt, daß die intratumorale Chemotherapie aufgrund der großen Zahl an Kathetern nicht bei größeren Tumoren anwendbar ist. Im Gegensatz dazu zeigt die interstitielle Hyperthermie und die Brachytherapie auch bei größeren Tumoren gute klinische Ergebnisse.
