Double-checked preoperative localization of brain lesions

Year: 2003

Type: article

Abstract: We describe two simple methods that can be used together or alone to localize brain convexity lesions. These methods are based on computerized tomography or magnetic resonance imaging to calculate the position of a given lesion under the skin and help neurosurgeons to plan their surgical approaches. Using spatial fixed points traced on the radiological scans and transposing them to the skin scalp allows the lesion to be projected or drawn on the calvaria.
