Si descrive la procedura d'installazione ed il controllo di qualità di un sistema per neurochirurgia stereotassica, che utilizza la risonanza magnetica per il calcolo diretto delle coordinate dei «bersagli». L'applicazione clinica del sistema conferma la fattibilità degli interventi in condizioni di sicurezza, e la validità del metodo adottato per l'eliminazione degli artefatti di distorsione spaziale nelle immagini.
