Abstract
The indications for stereotactic biopsies or implantation of probes for local chemotherapy in diffuse brainstem tumors have recently come under debate. The quality of performing these procedures significantly depends on the precision of the probes' placement in the brainstem. The authors evaluated the precision of brainstem probe positioning using a navigated frameless stereotactic system in an experimental setting.
