Claim:
1. A stereotactic positioning guide apparatus, comprising: a positioning guide assembly, and a positioning guide control assembly; the positioning guide assembly, wherein the positioning guide assembly comprises a tubular positioning guide, a rotation cylinder assembly, and a lock and release lever configured to couple with and to uncouple from the positioning guide control assembly, wherein the rotation cylinder assembly comprises a rotation cylinder, wherein the lock and release lever of the positioning guide assembly is configured to synchronize coupling the positioning guide assembly with the positioning guide control assembly for operational control of the positioning guide assembly by the positioning guide control assembly with letting the rotation cylinder be rotatable, wherein the positioning guide assembly is configured to synchronize uncoupling the positioning guide assembly from the positioning guide control assembly with locking the rotation cylinder so as to guide an invasive tubular device inside the tubular positioning guide slidably passing therethrough, wherein the positioning guide assembly is configured to be independently operable for the guiding of the invasive tubular device inside the tubular positioning guide following the uncoupling from the positioning guide control assembly, wherein the positioning guide assembly is configured to rotationally adjust and reversibly lock the tubular positioning guide for insertion angle of the invasive tubular device; and the positioning guide control assembly, wherein the positioning guide control assembly comprises an electromagnetic pointing device, a positioning controller assembly, a power and electronic control assembly, and an ultrasound transducer enclosure, wherein the positioning controller assembly comprises a manually-drivable worm drive arrangement, wherein the positioning guide control assembly is configured to visually locate a tissue object by the electromagnetic pointing device in a visualized ultrasonographic field so as to align a longitudinal axis of the tubular positioning guide of the positioning guide assembly with the tissue object in the visualized ultrasonographic field, and wherein the positioning guide control assembly is configured to synchronize locating the tissue object by the electromagnetic pointing device with aligning the longitudinal axis of the tubular positioning guide of the positioning guide assembly with the tissue object by manually rotating the manually-drivable worm drive arrangement.
