Benabid developed stereotactic surgery methods for brain surgery in patients who had brain tumors or certain types of movement disorder.

Several non-randomized studies have suggested that stereotactic surgery may provide a nearly equivalent outcome, compared with surgery followed by whole brain-irradiation.
13.
Whole-brain radiation may provide a median survival of 4 to 5 months, which can be further extended by months with stereotactic surgery.

His work with Sir Godfrey Hounsfield to determine the spatial resolution of the CT scanner opened the door for its use in stereotactic surgery.
15.
Another indication for neuroimaging is CT-, MRI-and PET-guided stereotactic surgery or radiosurgery for treatment of intracranial tumors, arteriovenous malformations and other surgically treatable conditions.

The device is manufactured by Elekta Instruments, Inc ., a Swedish company which manufactures stereotactic surgery and radiosurgery equipment, based on the inventions of Leksell.

Francis Gillingham was considered a pioneer in the field of Stereotactic surgery and was widely credited with introducing the concept of subspecialty fellowships to British neurosurgical training.

Dr . Ommaya worked with Sir Godfrey Hounsfield to determine the spatial resolution of the CT scanner which opened the door for its use in stereotactic surgery.

In addition to his work with stereotactic surgery and the N-localizer, Brown has contributed to medical imaging, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, computational chemistry, structural biology and computer science.
