ABSTRACT
Stereotaxy employs minimally invasive techniques to precisely locate a target within the body. is requires rendering the internal target and organs relative to an external reference in three-dimensional space. A system of coordinates links the dened exterior and the viewed internal anatomy. e imaging can be performed with diagnostic x-rays, magnetic resonance imaging, or ultrasound. e external reference can be a frame attached to the patient, or marked points on the patient’s surface anatomy.
