本文描述了Brown-Roberts-威尔斯（BRW）计算机断层摄影（CT）立体定位导引系统的生产模型。对原始原型的硬件和软件修改现在允许系统在初始扫描后独立于CT扫描仪使用，定位组件固定在颅骨上。该系统简单高效，可与所有CT扫描仪通用，并包括用于目标验证的体模模拟器系统。在两个机构的74例患者的初步经验。它的结论是，CT立体定位的指导系统将成为重要的工具，在神经外科设备，因为它们允许准确的方法，任何目标上的CT扫描。
The production model of the Brown-Roberts-Wells (BRW) computerized tomography (CT) stereotaxic guidance system is described. Hardware and software modifications to the original prototype now allow the system to be used independently of the CT scanner after an initial scan with the localizing components fixed to the skull. The system is simple and efficient, can be used universally with all CT scanners, and includes a phantom simulator system for target verification. Preliminary experience with 74 patients at two institutions is described. It is concluded that CT stereotaxic guidance systems will become important tools in the neurosurgical armamentarium, as they allow accurate approach to any target identifiable on the CT scan.
