Gliemroth1 , U. Kehler1 , H. Arnold1 1Department of Neurosurgery, Medical University Lübeck, Lübeck, Germany Recommend Article Abstract Buy Article Abstract A simple method to reapply the Leksell stereotactic frame using marked carbon pins is described. This method allows the reapplication in a quick and safe manner without repetition of the CT scan. The reproducibility was very high.
