Abstract
The physical principles of radiofrequency (RF) lesion making in stereotactic neurosurgery are summarized. Empirical data are given on the relationship between lesion size and lesioning parameters. Currently accepted ranges of lesioning parameters for selected stereotactic procedures are discussed. Advanced RF lesion electrode designs are described which improve the capabilities to reach and confirm targets.Keywords
