A Stereotactic Method of Anatomical Localization for Positron Emission Tomography
Abstract
Extant methods for anatomical localization within a physiological image are inadequate for precise regional correlations between anatomy and physiology. We have developed a method for determining the location of any region of interest within a positron emission tomographic (PET) image by transformation of the tomographic location coordinates into coordinates within a stereotactic atlas of the human brain. The specific anatomical assumptions of this approach were identified and validated within groups of normal subjects by means of measurements made from lateral skull radiographs and nuclear magnetic resonance proton images. A high degree of accuracy and reproducibility was demonstrated when this technique was applied to groups of normal subjects by determining the anatomical location of two physiologically defined PET areas: the cavernous sinus and visually responsive cortex. This method is simple to implement and highly objective. Generalization of the localization procedure for use with structural tomography is readily accomplished.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
