Frameless stereotactic magnetic resonance imaging using stereotactic manipulators of "Oreol" class
Since 1997 the neurosurgery manipulator Oreol is being used for carrying out stereotactic interventions on the brain. The localization procedure for these operations is provided by using frameless stereotactic magnetic resonance imaging. Hence, there is a possibility of a flexible organization of stereotactic procedure. Frameless stereotactic magnetic resonance imaging does not differ practically from the routine diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging examination on complexity and duration of carrying out. The described procedure can be performed by means of the standard software of any diagnostic scanners. The experience of using this technique allows speaking about its universality and high degree of reliability at surgical treatment of a wide spectrum of brain pathology.
