A computer-based tool is being developed to assist neurosurgeons in both preoperative planning and surgery. This tool is called the Stereotaxic Planning and Surgery System (SPSS). SPSS utilizes a localization device coupled with two-dimensional and three-dimensional visualization techniques, and it provides useful information to the surgeon when locating and removing diseased tissue. With SPSS, a new surgical technique referred to as guided frameless stereotaxic surgery is also being developed
