Abstract
All-body aiming apparatuses in conjunction with computed tomography are a new promise in the diagnostic and therapeutic complex. They make it possible to reach any point inside the body from any point on its surface. The space where the target is found is operated by the arms of the apparatus in three planes normal to each other and by rotating two angles round the longitudinal and transverse axis. Guiding of the apparatus on the target is controlled by the computer programme. Immobilization of the patient is achieved by a vacuum cushion. The apparatus was tested under model conditions and is ready for clinical use.
