Quantitative on-line analysis of physiological data for lesion placement in pallidotomy.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:It is possible to judge the impact of scientific research by the number of citations a publication has received. We identified the most cited works in the field of stereotactic radiosurgery to study the evolution of this field from the perspective of publication. METHODS:A Web of Science search was performed...
