Frame-based stereotactic biopsies using an intraoperative MR-scanner are as safe and effective as conventional stereotactic procedures

摘要

BackgroundFrame-based stereotactic biopsy (FBSB) is a minimally-invasive and effective procedure for the diagnosis of brain lesions and will likely gain clinical importance. Since FBSB procedures comprise a variety of imaging and sampling methods, it is necessary to compare the safety and effectiveness of individual techniques.
