Biomedical photonics is defined as the science of harnessing light and other forms of radiant
energy to address problems in medicine and biology. The field has experienced explosive …

Stereotactic brain needle biopsies are indicated for deep-seated or multiple brain lesions
and for patients with poor prognosis in whom the risks of resection outweigh the potential …

Intracranial hemorrhage can be a devastating complication associated with needle biopsies
of the brain. Hemorrhage can occur to vessels located adjacent to the biopsy needle as …

Background Gamma sensory stimulation may reduce AD-specific pathology. Yet, the efficacy

Background: Laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) can be used to measure cerebral
microcirculation in relation to stereotactic deep brain stimulation (DBS) implantations …

Cerebral blood flow is monitored in the neurointensive care unit (NICU) to avoid further brain
damage caused by secondary insults following subarachnoid hemorrhage and brain …

Intraoperative monitoring of cerebral blood flow (CBF) has become an invaluable adjunct to
vascular and oncological neurosurgery, reducing the risk of postoperative morbidity and …

BACKGROUND Accurate stereotactic biopsies of brain tumors are imperative for diagnosis
and tailoring of the therapy. Repetitive needle insertions enhance risks of brain lesioning …
