Leksell GammaPlan® - Functional Planning

Localization of functional targets with ease

Functional Planning is one of several value-added software modules - add-ons - for Leksell GammaPlan. It offers dedicated capabilities for functional neurosurgery, facilitating improved clinical outcomes.

Significant benefits

  • Define AC-PC line easily in 3D space
  • Refer to brain atlases with ease
  • Facilitate frame attachment
  • Localize functional targets

The AC-PC line can easily be defined in 3D space whether or not it lies within a single image plane. The patient’s images can then be realigned with the AC-PC line so they are truly axial, coronal and sagittal, making them easier to reference with different brain atlases.

Frame attachment is also facilitated since perfect frame alignment with the AC-PC line is no longer necessary.

Functional targets can be localized by using formulas based on distances from the AC-PC line. The corresponding stereotactic coordinates are automatically provided.

Add power to your planning
