Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary adult intracranial malignancy and carries a
dismal prognosis despite an aggressive multimodal treatment regimen that consists of …

One of the major issues in the surgical treatment of gliomas is the concern about maximizing
the extent of resection while minimizing neurological impairment. Thus, surgical planning by …

The standard of care for brain tumors is maximal safe surgical resection. Neuronavigation
augments the surgeon's ability to achieve this but loses validity as surgery progresses due to …

Purpose The extent of brain tumor resection (EOR) is a fundamental prognostic factor in
pediatric neuro-oncology in association with the histology. In general, resection aims at …

Objective Intraoperative imaging is a chief asset in neurosurgical oncology, it improves the
extent of resection and postoperative outcomes. Imaging devices have evolved …

Background Neuronavigation is routinely used in glioblastoma surgery, but its accuracy
decreases during the operative procedure due to brain shift, which can be addressed …

Background Brain shift may cause significant error in neuronavigation, leading the surgeon
to possible mistakes. Intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most reliable …

Surgical excision is an important part of the multimodal therapy strategy for patients with
glioblastoma, a very aggressive and invasive brain tumor. While major advances in surgical …

Background The aim of this clinical trial was to compare Fluorescein-stained intraoperative
confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) of intracranial lesions and evaluation by a …

Three-dimensional ultrasound imaging has many advantages over 2-D imaging such as
more comprehensive tissue evaluation and less operator dependence. However …
