Abstract
A stereotactic apparatus for percutaneous needle biopsy under computed tomographic (CT) control is described. A program was developed that allows the transfer of CT data to the stereotactic apparatus. No artifacts of the CT images are caused by the stereotactic apparatus. Preliminary results in 36 patients (34 biopsies and two nerve blocks) are reported.Keywords
