Rapid method for determination of isocenter of radiation gantry and alignment of laser beams for stereotactic radiosurgery.

abstract：:Ablation of the globus pallidus internus (GPi) and thalamotomy have been extensively used in the past. Posteroventral GPi deep brain stimulation has been considered as a treatment for dystonia. However, to date, there is no report in the literature of any dystonia patient who underwent GPi deep brain stimulation who h...
