Abstract
A mechanical stereotactic-computerized tomography interface device (SCID) is attached to the head at three bony fixation points and, after rigid fixation to the scanning gantry, is zeroed to make scan and stereotactic space identical. The system is simple, reproducible, accurate and reliable and has been used for tumour and excisional biopsy, radiation planning and instillation of radioisotopes.
