Stereotactic Neurobiopsy

Stereotactic neurobiopsy is a medical procedure used to obtain a small tissue sample from the brain for diagnosis. Using advanced imaging techniques, such as MRI or CT scans, doctors can precisely locate and target a specific area in the brain. They then use a thin, hollow needle to collect tissue while minimizing damage to surrounding areas. This procedure helps identify conditions like tumors, infections, or neurological diseases, allowing for accurate treatment planning. It is usually performed under local anesthesia and offers a less invasive alternative to open brain surgery.
