Stereotactic Techniques
Stereotactic techniques are advanced medical procedures that allow precise targeting of specific areas within the body, often used in neurosurgery and radiation therapy. These techniques utilize imaging technologies, such as MRI or CT scans, to create a three-dimensional map of the area of interest, ensuring accurate delivery of treatment or biopsy.
In stereotactic surgery, a frame or a frameless system is used to guide instruments to the exact location of a tumor or abnormal tissue. This minimally invasive approach reduces damage to surrounding healthy tissue and can lead to quicker recovery times for patients, making it a valuable option for various medical conditions.
