Accuracy of computed tomography-magnetic resonance imaging image fusion using a phantom for skull base surgery.

CONCLUSIONS: The displacements following image fusion were within approximately 0.5 mm, even at 8 cm from the center. This suggests that the region where the cranial nerves are located, within 40 mm of the dorsum sellae, had no risk of positional error following image fusion.
