Abstract

A robotized installation has been designed to perform complete stereotactic neurosurgical operations inside the CT-scan, including processing of the scanner images. positionning of the robot a aiming at the target point, and manipulation of te different probes. The first prototype of the robot has entered a phase of programming and testing while various stereotactic instruments are being completed. The robot has been described in [1]. The development of specific tools is the main subject of this paper.
