Validation of 3D fluoroscopy for image-guidance registration in depth electrode implantation for medically refractory epilepsy

ConclusionsThe use of XT as a method for registration resulted in similar implantation accuracy compared with CT. Advantages of XT are the substantial reduction in radiation dose and the elimination of the need to transfer the patient out of the room which may have an impact on patient safety and OR efficiency.
