- We present 15 images from the global mm-VLBI sessions in 1990 April at 100 GHz and 1993 April at 86 GHz. These observations probe the central engines of the 16 observed AGN's with up to 50 mu as resolution. Among other sources previously observed with lambda 3 mm VLBI we present the first lambda 3 mm maps of 0735+178, 0748+126, 1055+018, 2145+067, and CTA102, in total we have been able to image 13 out of the 16 observed sources. 6 out of the 13 imaged sources observed exhibit curvature and rapid structural changes, although the low dynamic range in two thirds of the maps limits the detection of weak features. Most of the sources have unresolved cores even at this high resolution. There is substantial evidence that the observed sources can be grouped into two general groups: A misaligned population with parsec scale jets in the form of low pitch helices and an aligned population with straight jets with small changes in PA due to intrinsic bends.

- The coordinates of one and the same target were compared between stereotactic CT and MRI studies, using the original Laitinen noninvasive Stereoadapter, and a slightly modified stereoadapter in 34 patients scheduled for pallidotomy or thalamotomy. The differences between CT and MRI coordinates were significant for the anteroposterior y (p < 0.001) and the vertical z (p < 0.01) coordinates. When the targets were analyzed separately for the coordinates in the right and left hemispheres, only those of the left-sided targets were significantly different between CT and MRI measurements. In patients where a vertex support was added to the Stereoadapter, there were no differences between CT and MRI target coordinates, regardless of the side of the target. However, in all patient groups, the three-dimensional vectorial difference between CT and MRI coordinates showed that the MRI-defined targets lay anterior and dorsal, that is, rostral, to the CT-defined targets, with a 95% confidence interval of the differences ranging from 1.8 to 2.4 mm. This rostral shift in target coordinates on MRI versus CT happens to coincide with the usual approach of the probe towards the target during surgery. It is concluded that the differences in target coordinates in our study are due partly to MRI distortion and partly to repositioning error of the Stereoadapter on the head. The relatively low magnitude of these differences does not preclude the use of the Stereoadapter for MRI-guided functional stereotactic surgery, provided careful impedance monitoring and macrostimulation of the target area prior to lesioning.
