ABSTRACT:
The specification of a trajectory for performing a stereotactic medical procedure uses a phantom having a simulated target and a simulated incision point. The simulated target is placed in a position corresponding to the target within a patient and the simulated incision point is placed in a position corresponding to the planned incision point on the patient. A passive positioner is placed such that a surgical tool supported thereon extends through the simulated incision point and to the simulated target. The passive positioner is then secured so as to maintain its orientation. The positioner may then be moved to adjacent the patient for performing the actual medical procedure on the patient. Alternately, a second positioner, constructed identically to the first positioner, is adjusted to have the same settings as established by use of the simulated target and simulated incision point.
