Özet

BACKGROUND Stereotactic percutaneous pain procedures, percutaneous cordotomy, trigeminal tractotomy, and extralemniscal myelotomy are routinely performed with computed tomography (CT) guidance. This new imaging technique enables one to measure the spinal cord diameters for each patient uniquely. Significant differences have been recognized between the measurements obtained with CT and the reference values given for such procedures.
