What is magnetoencephalography and why it is relevant to neurosurgery?
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a relatively novel technique that allows the study of the dynamic properties of cortical activity. The functional localization of brain sources of MEG signals depends on the models used and it always has a certain degree of uncertainty. Nevertheless, MEG can be very useful in assisting the neurosurgeon in planning and carrying out brain surgery in, or around, elo...

متن کاملClinical application of laser in oncological neurosurgery
Today laser has become a standard tool in modern minimal invasive microneurosurgery and it is being increasingly used in functional neurosurgery as well. Lasers have found their full and extensive application for their capacity of acting on pathological tissues without direct contact, through relatively small craniotomy, and in deep hardly accessible regions. In accordance with worldwide experi...
متن کاملMRI and DTI in Clinical Neurosurgery
This document attempts to describe the clinical practice of neurosurgery from the point of view of a computer scientist/medical engineer. I will focus on the current use of imaging technology in clinical practice and on the potential utility of diffusion tensor MRI imaging (DTI). The two main questions I have tried to answer are “How do doctors actually use MRI for neurosurgery?” and “What do d...

Indeed, the stage was set for a great and dramatic cure. Psychosurgery was not, however, viewed at that time as a quack cure, growing out of ignorance or a naive public. As part of standard medical p...
