ing holes on the localizer frame. If the posterior panel is not re-
placed, only axial and coronal scans may be used.
Note
Locating pins ensure that the Luminant
together in one orientation only—all four screws will seat fully with
proper alignment. Do not attempt to assemble these parts in
another orientation.
Note
Finger-tighten all localizer thumbscrews; do not use tools to
tighten them.
Caution DO NOT submit the Luminant
impact, as severe jarring could cause breakage of
the localizer frame and/or its fiducial rods. Return
the localizer to Radionics for evaluation if it is
subjected to an impact.
Data Collection from the MR or CT Scan
The Luminant localizer and UCHRA are directly compatible with MR
TM
and CT imaging; no change in equipment is necessary when changing
imaging modalities.
The exclusive use of MR images for stereotaxy is
not recommended. MR imaging has an inherent
degree of distortion that may be intrinsic to the
scanner and to the types of materials within the
image volume.
Note
A Radionics Geometric Phantom can be purchased to measure
and periodically confirm the accuracy of your scanners. Contact
Radionics to order part # GEOSYS and the appropriate adapter
plate for your head ring.

accuracy of MR scans. Fusing CT and MR image sets combines
the advantages of CT spatial accuracy with the superior tissue
definition of MR.
Note
Set the localizer type in the Radionics software to either UCLF or
Luminant. Both the UCLF and Luminant have the same rod
locations.
