Russell A. Brown

Russell A. Brown, an American physician and computer scientist, is the inventor[1] of the N-localizer[2] technology that enables guidance of stereotactic surgery or radiosurgery using medical images that are obtained via computed tomography (CT),[3] magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),[4] or positron emission tomography (PET).[5]

Russell A. Brown in 2007

While a medical student, Brown conceived the N-localizer[6] that was subsequently incorporated into the Brown-Roberts-Wells (BRW),[7] Kelly-Goerss,[8] Leksell,[9] and Cosman-Roberts-Wells (CRW)[10] stereotactic instruments and the Gamma Knife[11] stereotactic radiosurgery system.
