Abstract

The present invention pertains to a device for detecting the position of radiation target points with an anchoring means for attachment to a patient reference system, especially to a stereotactic immobilization system, e.g., a head ring, and with a labeling means, arranged on the anchoring means, for at least one point of coordinates in various three-dimensional projections, in which case the labeling means consists of several computer-printed surface materials, which plot the point of coordinates in a three-dimensional manner.
