Abstract:
A stereotactic device comprising:a frame portion attached to: (i) a lower plane portion defining a lower plane and comprising a lower vector point, said lower plane portion comprising a template comprising at least one pair of angled members of an imager-conspicuous material, said at least one angled member defining an angle of about 53 degrees; and (ii) an upper plane portion; said upper portion comprising: (1) a template defining an upper plane and comprising a pair of adjacent angled members comprising an imager-conspicuous material, said pair of adjacent angled members aligned such that said pair of adjacent angled members open in substantially parallel directions, and wherein the angle defined by each of said pair of adjacent angled members defines an angle of about 53 degrees, and (2) an alignment structure comprising an upper vector point adapted to move parallel to said upper plane, so as to be able to define a vector passing through said upper and lower vector points.
