W3: Intra-Operative Imaging and Brain Pathology

The Intraoperative MRI is of great importance in the surgical removal of gliomas or cranial base tumors. However, the sole use of a intraoperative MRI is problematic, so that a dual system has been developed to optimize the utilization of the equipment, which can be used both for neurosurgical patients and for outpatient or stationary Patients. Within the framework of the new head Center at the...

Pathology of lung cancer.

Microscopic examination of stained smears and tissue sections remains the standard method for definitive diagnosis and classification of lung cancer. However, the morphology of lung cancer is complex, and consensus classifications such as those prepared by a panel World Health Organization (WHO) are required for the sake of consistency and clinical relevance. In the most recent (1999) WHO class...

Pathology of lung cancer.

This article reviews current concepts in pathologic classification of lung cancer based on 1999 World Health Organization (WHO)/International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) classification. Preinvasive lesions including squamous dysplasia/carcinoma in situ, atypical adenomatous hyperplasia and diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia are discussed in additio...

Gynaecological masses: imaging and pathology

Abstract Indeterminate adnexal masses arise from inconclusive pelvic ultrasound examinations directed to evaluate suspected gynaecological problems but increasingly on ultrasound and computed tomography examinations performed for other reasons. As imaging of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts has moved from contrast studies to cross-sectional imaging, such adnexal masses are increasi...
