OBJECTIVE: To assess the spatial accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomographic stereotactic localization with the Leksell stereotactic system.METHODS: The phantom was constructed in the shape of a box, 164 mm in each dimension, with three perpendicular arrays of solid acrylic rod, 5 mm in diameter and spaced 30 mm apart within the phantom. In this study, images from two different MRI scanners and a computed tomographic scanner were obtained using the same Leksell (Elekta Instruments, Stockholm, Sweden) head frame placement. The coordinates of the rod images in the three principal planes were measured by using a tool provided with Leksell GammaPlan software (Elekta Instruments, Norcross, CA) and were compared with the physical phantom measurements.RESULTS: The greatest distortion was found around the periphery, and the least distortion (
