Abstract
Neurosurgical operations sometimes involve difficulties in finding out the real positions of small-size neoplasms shown on tomographical images. The articulated navigation system, with the aid of a computer, gives ongoing positional correspondence between the position in the patient´s brain and the one in the tomographic images to assist neurosurgery.
