Table 8. Comparison of target localization coordinates for an electrode tip in a single case. Here, MidACPC coordinates are presented. All Euclidean distances are compared to the "gold standard" postoperative CT, including the final intraoperative image (O-arm2) and the originally planned target. RT and PP fair well relative to the post-op CT with Euclidean distances of 0.48 mm and 0.30 mm as compared to O-arm2 of 0.41 mm.

AP = Antero-Posterior; LAT = Lateral; VERT = Vertical; MidACPC = Middle of the Anterior Commissure to Posterior Commissure point; RT = Ray Tracing; PP = Perspective Projection; Rel Post-op CT = Euclidian Distance relative to the post-op CT; Rel to O-arm2 = Euclidian Distance relative to the intraoperative O-arm2; Rel to Plan Target = Euclidian Distance relative to original planned target.
