Accurate and reliable intraoperative neuronavigation is crucial for achieving maximal safe
resection of brain tumors. Intraoperative MRI (iMRI) has received significant attention as the …

Purpose: Neuronavigation based on preoperative imaging data is a ubiquitous tool for
image guidance in neurosurgery. However, it is rendered unreliable when brain shift …

OBJECTIVE: It remains unknown whether the extent of surgical resection affects survival or
disease progression in patients with supratentorial low-grade gliomas. METHODS: We …

Neurosurgery makes use of preoperative imaging to visualize pathology, inform surgical
planning, and evaluate the safety of selected approaches. The utility of preoperative imaging …

Purpose: Objective Shear wave elastography (SWE) enabled living tissue assessment of
stiffness. This is routinely used for breast, thyroid and liver diseases, but there is currently no …

Terahertz (THz) technology offers novel opportunities in biology and medicine, thanks to the
unique features of THzwave interactions with tissues and cells. Among them, we particularly …

OBJECTIVE: Gross total resection (GTR) prolongs survival but is unfortunately not
achievable in the majority of patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Cytoreductive …

Early surgery is currently the first treatment in low-grade glioma. Re-operation can also be
considered, possibly more extensive than the first one, thanks to a functional remapping …

Intraoperative Thermal Imaging (ITI) is a novel neuroimaging technique that can potentially
locate the margins of primary and metastatic brain tumors. As a result, the additional real …

Purpose: Brain shift and tissue deformation during surgery for intracranial lesions are the
main actual limitations of neuro-navigation (NN), which currently relies mainly on …
