Resumo

The authors used a frameless stereotactic navigation system, the Vogele-Bale-Hohner head holder, and a targeting device to reproducibly position brachytherapy needles for fractionated interstitial brachytherapy in 12 patients with inoperable cancers of the head and neck. In all cases, deviations of the needle relative to the planned position were within 1-15 mm depending on the location of the tumor.
