Table 5. AP, LAT, and VERT changes on head-stage coordinates have an effect on the MidACPC coordinates. A head-stage movement is computed by moving +2 mm AP, +2 mm LAT, +2 mm VERT on the left and right trajectories and the resulting MidACPC position is computed. The change in MidACPC from the original target is computed as delta. Finally, a new MidACPC target is chosen on the right and left side and the necessary head-stage adjustments to reach those targets are computed along with the radial error.

AP = Antero-Posterior; LAT = Lateral; VERT = Vertical; MidACPC = Middle of Anterior Commissure and Posterior Commissure; mm = millimeters.
