Diagnostic Potential of Stereotactic Biopsy of Midline Lesions

  • Conference paper
Processes of the Cranial Midline

Part of the book series: Acta Neurochirurgica Supplementum ((NEUROCHIRURGICA,volume 53))

Summary

The technique of CT-guided stereotactic biopsy is described and its reliability is discussed based on the experiences with a series of 1747 procedures. We could show that stereotactic biopsy has an overall diagnostic accuracy of 95% and therefore is a safe and reliable tool for planning the therapeutic strategy.
