Stereotactic-computerized tomography interface device.

Abstract

A mechanical stereotactic-computerized tomography interface device (SCID) is attached to the head at three bony fixation points and, after rigid fixation to the scanning gantry, is zeroed to make scan and stereotactic space identical. The system is simple, reproducible, accurate and reliable and has been used for tumour and excisional biopsy, radiation planning and instillation of radioisotopes.

A new oral surgery teaching model.

An anatomical model for teaching the practical aspects of routine oral surgery in a clinical or laboratory environment, is described. Replaceable sections allow the model to be rapidly re-used so that successive students may practise procedures such as incisions, flap reflection, bone removal, tooth removal, apicectomy and suturing. Keeping the cost per procedure to a minimum was considered to be of fundamental importance and this has been achieved through the use of 'factory produced' replacement parts.
