Background Patients suffering from malignant gliomas have a poor prognosis. For the
surgical treatment of these tumors, 5‐aminolevulinic acid (5‐ALA) has become a new …

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

Introduction The use of intraoperative imaging has been a critical tool in the neurosurgeon's
armamentarium and is of particular benefit during tumor surgery. This article summarizes the …

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

One of the major challenges during glioblastoma surgery is balancing between maximizing
extent of resection and preventing neurological deficits. Several surgical techniques and …

Background Image-guided surgery has become standard practice during surgical resection,
using preoperative magnetic resonance imaging. Intraoperative ultrasound (IoUS) has …

While benefits of intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) have been frequently described, data on
IOUS limitations are relatively sparse. Suboptimal ultrasound imaging of some pathologies …

Maximal safe resection represents the gold standard for surgery of malignant brain tumors.
As regards gross-total resection, accurate localization and precise delineation of the tumor …

Gliomas are CNS neoplasms that infiltrate the surrounding brain parenchyma, complicating
their treatment. Tools that increase extent of resection while preventing neurological deficit …

BACKGROUND In diffuse WHO grade II gliomas (LGG), the extent of resection (EOR)
required to achieve significant survival benefits remains elusive. OBJECTIVE To evaluate …
