Abstract
The Gill Thomas Locator is a stereotactic adaptor for the Brown-Roberts-Wells and Cosman-Roberts-Wells systems. It is a noninvasive device that relies on temporary fixation to the maxillary teeth. A series of 20 patients have had stereotactic biopsies with this system. A diagnostic biopsy was obtained in 19 cases. The frame was well tolerated, accurately relocatable, and allowed computed tomographic scanning and surgery to be conducted at different times.
