1. A system for targeting and verifying a medical procedure, comprising:
- at least one screen for displaying a visual representation of the medical procedure;
at least one interface device for receiving data from at least one user;
at least one processor in communication with the at least one screen and the at least one interface device; and
at least one computer-readable medium in communication with the at least one processor, having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to;
determine, from at least one three-dimensional image of at least a portion of a patient'"'"'s anatomy, location and orientation data of at least one anatomical reference point, at least one external reference point, and at least one target point;
generate, from at least a portion of the location and orientation data, a frame coordinate map and a customized patient reference map;
position a predetermined stereotactic frame coordinate map over the three-dimensional image such that the frame coordinate map is aligned with the at least one anatomical point;
rotate the frame coordinate map about the at least one anatomical point such that the frame coordinate map coincides with the customized patient reference map;
generate, from the coincident frame coordinate map and customized patient reference map, a customized digital model comprising the at least one target point, the at least one anatomical reference point, and at least one customized positioning interface device, the customized positioning device being unique to the patient;
display the customized digital model on at least one screen; and
simulate a medical procedure on the customized digital model, wherein the simulation comprises displaying, on at least one screen, at least one trajectory of a medical device or medical treatment to the at least one target point.

Abstract
Provided herein are methods and apparatuses for performing precise medical procedures. Provided are methods of providing unitary positioning interfaces for stereotactic devices or medical devices. The methods include implanting emitters in a patient, scanning the patient using any suitable scanning technique, determining orientation and location data of the emitters and any suitable anatomic structures, generating a digital image, and fabricating a solid physical model from the digital image. Also provided herein are methods of verifying medical treatments and systems for performing medical procedures.
