The role of intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging in glioma surgery
For patients with gliomas, the goal of surgery is to maximize the extent of tumor resection while avoiding injury to functional tissue. The hope is to improve patients' survival and maintain the highest quality of life as possible. However, because of the infiltrative nature of gliomas these two goals often oppose each other so a compromise must be met. Many tools have been developed to help wi...
متن کاملIntraoperative high-field magnetic resonance imaging combined with functional neuronavigation in resection of low-grade temporal lobe tumors
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to investigate the role of intraoperative MR imaging in temporal lobe low-grade glioma (LGG) surgery and to report the surgical outcome in our series with regard to seizures, neurological defects, and quality of life. METHODS Patients with temporal lobe contrast-nonenhancing gliomas who presented with seizures in the course of their disease were enrolled in...
متن کاملQuantification of Glioma Removal by Intraoperative High-Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging: An Update: Erratum.
BACKGROUND The beneficial role of the extent of resection (EOR) in glioma surgery in correlation to increased survival remains controversial. However, common literature favors maximum EOR with preservation of neurological function, which is shown to be associated with a significantly improved outcome. OBJECTIVE In order to obtain a maximum EOR, it was examined whether high-field intraoperativ...
متن کاملWax pile method for glioma surgery utilizing intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging: a technical note
Over the past decade, intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) to facilitate precise resection of brain tumors has been introduced to the field of brain tumor surgery. We have started using a technique for brain tumor resection involving precise placement of silicone tubes filled with bone wax under iMRI, which we call the “wax pile” method. From July 2008 to August 2012, a total of 31 ...
