Clinical 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 کاملApplication of a flexible CO(2) laser fiber for neurosurgery: laser-tissue interactions.
OBJECT The CO(2) laser has an excellent profile for use in neurosurgery. Its high absorption in water results in low thermal spread, sparing adjacent tissue. Use of this laser has been limited to line-of-sight applications because no solid fiber optic cables could transmit its wavelength. Flexible photonic bandgap fiber technology enables delivery of CO(2) laser energy through a flexible fiber ...
متن کاملBRAIN MAPPING IN NEUROSURGERY
Background and Aim: Brain mapping is a study of the anatomy and function of the CNS (central nervous system). Brain mapping has many techniques and these techniques are permanently changing and updating. From the beginning, brain mapping was invasive and for brain mapping, electrical stimulation of the exposed brain was needed. However, nowadays brain mapping does not require electrical stimula...
متن کامل3D Laser Scanning for Image-Guided Neurosurgery
This paper describes on-going work by the Environmental Research Institute of Michigan (ERIM) and The University of Michigan Medical Center to develop a new approach to frameless stereotsxy, in which patient-image registration is accomplished using a 3D laser imaging sensor and precaptured CT scans. Alternative methods under development for frameless stereotactic neurosurgery are reviewed and c...
