To prove feasibility of proton chemical shift imaging ((1)H CSI) during stereotactic procedure, authors performed (1)H CSI in combination with a stereotactic headframe and selected targets according to local metabolic information, evaluated the pathologic results. The (1)H CSI directed stereotactic biopsy was performed in four patients. (1)H CSI and conventional Gd-enhancement stereotactic MRI were performed simultaneously after the fitting of a stereotactic headframe. Focal areas of increased phosphocholine(Cho)/phosphocreatine(Cr) and Lactate/Cr ratios were selected as target sites in the stereotactic MR images. (1)H CSI is possible with the stereotactic headframe in place. Pathologic samples taken from areas of increased Cho/Cr ratios and decreased NAA/Cr ratios provided information upon increased cellularity, mitoses and cellular atypism, and facilitated diagnosis. Pathologic samples taken from areas of increased Lac/Cr ratio showed predominant feature of necrosis. (1)H CSI was feasible with the stereotactic headframe in place. The final pathologic results obtained were concordant with the local metabolic information from (1)H CSI. We believe that (1)H CSI-directed stereotactic biopsy has the potential to significantly improve the accuracy of stereotactic biopsy targeting.

Posterior Fossa Stereotactic Biopsy with Leksell Vantage Frame-Case Series and Review of Literature.
J Clin Med
January 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, University Medical Centre Maribor, 2000 Maribor, Slovenia.
Stereotactic biopsy of posterior fossa lesions, which are often inoperable, enables a safe trajectory and provides tissue samples for accurate diagnosis, which is crucial for correct treatment since the latest World Health Organization Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System from 2021 places immense emphasis on molecular diagnostics. Stereotactic biopsy using the Leksell Vantage headframe is, due to its rigid design, extremely accurate, but stiffer, making the procedure more challenging and the learning curve steeper. This retrospective analysis demonstrates the introduction of the new Leksell Vantage headframe in day-to-day practice at the University Medical Center in Maribor, Slovenia, in demanding procedures of posterior fossa biopsies, and also provides a review of the literature available on the topic with emphasis on the technical aspect of posterior fossa biopsy using the Leksell Vantage headframe in adults.

Article Synopsis
- The research aimed to compare two existing stereotactic brain biopsy (SBB) methods (3D-SCG and neuronavigation with Brainsight) against a new method using Brainsight with a 3D-printed headframe (BS3D-HF) for canine cadavers.
- The study involved five canine cadavers, with initial CT scans taken, followed by the placement of pins at selected target points using each method, and then a repeat CT to assess accuracy.
- Results showed that both 3D-SCG and neuronavigation had comparable median deviations (2.48 mm and 3.28 mm), while the BS3D-HF had a much larger median deviation (14.8 mm), indicating

Motion Detection and Correction for Frame-Based Stereotactic Localization.

Medical Physics, MEVIS Informática Médica Ltda., São Paulo, BRA.
Frame-based stereotactic localization is an important step for targeting during a surgical procedure. The motion may cause artifacts in this step reducing the accuracy of surgical targeting. While modeling of motion in real-life scenarios may be difficult, herein we analyzed the case where motion was suspected to impact the localization step.
