An algorithm for planning stereotactic brain implants.

A computer software package was developed for the planning and execution of brain biopsy and radioactive implant procedures with the BRW Stereotaxic System. With the application of computer graphics and a zero-one integer variable programming algorithm, an implant plan with accompanying isodose distributions and stereotactic coordinates can be easily accomplished at the time of the operation when the computer imaging terminal and a printer/plotter is placed in the operating room.
