Abstract [eng] Introduction. There are 100,000 radiosurgical procedures and around 12,000 DBS implantations carried out worldwide each year using stereotacic frames. 1 Moreover, intracranial lesion biopsies and stereotactic EEG electrode placement also are done by using frame based technique. For optimal stereotactical MRI imaging appropriate frame positioning on the patient’s head is mandatory. The stereotactic frame must be accurately placed on the patient’s head to ensure that the images are aligned correctly with the treatment plan. Incorrect placement can lead to final target coordinates calculation errors. Conventional Leksell G and Vantage frame mounting methods are based on usage of ear bars 2, over-the-head Velcro or mounted bar 3, additional plates for supine placement 4,5 or bite-bars 6. Most of these methods are suitable for Leksell G frame, however not for a Vantage frame® which was presented for clinical use 6 years ago.7.
