A drawback of using a static single-focus beam approach is that the lateral resolution performance is sacrificed to lower the system complexity.
Failing to recognize and avoid the internal mammary artery (3 5 cm lateral to the lower sternal boarder) and the neurovascular bundles that run below each rib [389].
b CT of the chest with IV and oral contrast in soft tissue window shows contrast filling an outpouching located lateral to the lower thoracic oesophagus.
Movements of the tongue were evoked from few sites located lateral to the lower jaw movement region (Fig. 2C and D).
These points are approximately 2.5 cm lateral to the lower border of spinous process of the T2 – 10 vertebrae immediately after placement of the epidural catheter (see Figure 1).
Traditional Chinese acupuncture points were used following the Gall Bladder meridian for example, GB30, GB31, GB32, GB34+BL25 as well as (Huatuojiaji) points, 0.5 cun lateral to the lower ends of the lumbar dorsal spines (often spinal segments L1 3 on the opposite side).
A 23 gauge 1 µl Hamilton syringe attached to a stereotaxic manipulator was placed 1 mm caudal to Bregma and 1 mm lateral to the midline, lowered 3.0 mm into the brain, and then backed out 1 mm.
The needle was inserted through a burr hole positioned 0.9 mm posterior, 1.2 mm lateral to bregma, and lowered perpendicular to the cranial surface to a depth of 3.6 mm ventral to the dorsal surface of the dura mater [ 32].
A blunt tip 27-gauge needle was inserted through a burr hole positioned 0.9 mm posterior, 1.2 mm lateral to bregma, and lowered perpendicular to the cranial surface to a depth of 3.6 mm ventral to the dorsal surface of the dura mater, placing the tip of the needle in the ventral horn of the lateral ventricle [ 32].
The microelectrode assembly was positioned at +1 mm anterior to Bregma, 2.5 mm lateral to the sagittal suture and lowered 3 mm into the rat brain under stereotactic guidance using the flat skull coordinates of Paxinos and Watson [ 50].
