In stereotactic operations, intraoperative imaging is crucial in several stages of the procedure. The aim was to utilize the O-arm intraoperatively for (1) planning the trajectories of stereotactic instruments, (2) calculating the coordinates of the targets, (3) identification of normal intracranial structures, (4) verification of the trajectories of the stereotactic instruments, and (5) visualization of intracranial hematoma. This is the first study using the O-arm for calculations of the target coordinates in frame-based stereotaxy.
