Evaluation of Diagnostic Value of CT Scan and MRI in Brain Tumors and Comparison with Biopsy

Abstract Background Cerebral neoplasm arises from brain, spinal cord and meningeal cells. Not only malignant cerebral neoplasm also benign tumor could lead to death due to mass effect on vital structures. Access to these tumors is difficult, and MRI and CT scan could be helpful in determining anatomical location of tumors and distinction of malignant from benign. Objective For better and ea...

CT-guided laser probe for ablation of brain tumors

In this study, 22 patients (15-75 years old) were selected and transferred to CT scan for tumor ablation. For ablations, after prep and drep under the local anesthesia and mild sedation in proper position, small incision made and special needle inserted and guided by proper direction to the core of the tumor. Then, laser probe inserted through the needle and laser energy delivered. Although we ...

Mathematically Modeling the Mass-Effect of Invasive Brain Tumors

When developing an accurate model of the development of glioblastomas multiforme, it is important to account not only for the invasion and diffusion of tumor cells into healthy tissue but also the resulting mass effect and brain tissue deformation. This motivates the model presented here, which implements the finite element method to solve a boundary value problem defined through classical cont...

The neuropathology of alcohol-related brain damage.

Excessive alcohol use can cause structural and functional abnormalities of the brain and this has significant health, social and economic implications for most countries in the world. Even heavy social drinkers who have no specific neurological or hepatic problems show signs of regional brain damage and cognitive dysfunction. Changes are more severe and other brain regions are damaged in patien...
