Useful Base Plate to Support the Head during Leksell Skull Frame Placement in Gamma Knife Perfexion Radiosurgery
We developed an original base plate to support both the patient's head and a Leksell stereotactic skull frame during frame placement in the supine position. The base plate is made of transparent acrylic board with holes at the posterior posts for injection of local anesthetics and maneuver of fixation screws through them. A stable and comfortable position of the patient's head in a supine posit...

متن کاملA MULTISTAGE EXPANSION PLANNING METHOD FOR OPTIMAL SUBSTATION PLACEMENT
Optimal distribution substation placement is one of the major components of optimal distribution system planning projects. In this paper optimal substation placement problem is solved using Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) as a new developed heuristic optimization algorithm. This procedure gives the optimal size, site and installation time of medium voltage substation, using their relate...
متن کاملA virtual frame system for stereotactic radiosurgery planning.
PURPOSE We describe a computerized (or virtual) model of a stereotactic head frame to enable planning prior to the day of radiosurgery. The location of the virtual frame acts as a guide to frame placement on the day of the procedure. METHODS AND MATERIALS The software consists of a triangular mesh representation of the essential frame hardware that can be overlaid with any MR scan of the pati...
متن کاملOptimal placement of post-tensioned self-centering yielding braced systems for braced frame structures
The experience of past prominent earthquakes establishes the fact that the structure’s catastrophes and casualties can be dramatically decreased through the use of self-centering systems. A promising post-tensioned self-centering yielding braced system (PT-SCYBS) has been developed, comprising of two main components, including the post-tensioned wires, exhibiting the desirable self-centering pr...
