Modification of the Gouda frame to allow stereotactic biopsy of the brain using the GE 8800 computed tomographic scanner
Abstract
The Gouda stereotactic frame has been modified to interface with the GE 8800 scanner. The patient, attached to the frame, is scanned and then moved to the operating room for a stereotactic biopsy. This is a safe, accurate method of obtaining biopsy specimens of otherwise inaccessible tumors of the brain.
