The base plate is made of transparent acrylic board with holes at the posterior posts for injection of local anesthetics and maneuver of fixation screws through them. A stable and comfortable position of the patient’s head in a supine position is obtained and maintained on this base plate with an air-pressure cuff beneath the patient’s head. The patient is able to keep a stable, relaxed and comfortable posture during the procedures of skull frame placement.}, pages = {27--33}, title = {Useful Base Plate to Support the Head During Leksell Skull Frame Placement in Gamma Knife Perfexion Radiosurgery}, volume = {76}, year = {2014} }
