Abstract
A technique is introduced enabling automatic transfer of coordinates obtained at computer tomography into a stereotactic system previously applied in biopsies of brain lesions. Four to five biopsies from different parts of gliomas were taken to compare the structures demonstrated on computer tomography with the microscopic appearances. Of 45 biopsies in 13 patients, 36 were predicted correctly. This also served as an attempt to classify gliomas on the basis of their appearance in the CT image.Keywords
