In combination with Elements Automatic Segmentation, FiberTracking and post-operative Lead Localisation, Elements
Stereotaxy is the latest addition to Brainlab's product portfolio and together extend the advanced capabilities for planning as well as intra- and postoperative verification of the lead placement for stereotactic functional neurosurgery.
The stability, reproducibility, and accuracy of frame-based
stereotaxy make this procedure an attractive alternative to trajectory-based procedures, where real-time feedback is less critical, and have provided a reliable method for accurately targeting deep-brain structures.
Originally
stereotaxy was developed by the physician Robert Henry Clarke (1850-1926) who worked together with the pioneer of British Neurosurgery Victor Horsley (1857-1916) at the University College in London since 1880.
