Estimation of Brain Shift Caused by Meningioma

چکیده
Abstract— Meningioma is one of the most frequent tumors and grows on the surface of the brain. This pushes the brain leading to stress changes in the brain causing it to shift from its region. On a broader scale, two methods of estimation of brain shift are used. One is the non-linear model and the other is linear model. Linear model is further optimized to produce better results. Better accuracy and its close estimation of the shift makes non-linear model a better approach.

An optimised linear mechanical model for estimating brain shift caused by meningioma tumours
Estimation of brain deformation plays an important role in computer-aided therapy and image-guided neurosurgery systems. Tumour growth can cause brain deformation and change stress distribution in the brain. Biomechanical models exist that use a finite element method to estimate brain shift caused by tumour growth. Such models can be categorised as linear and non-linear models, both of which as...
متن کاملPreoperative assessment of meningioma aggressiveness by Thallium-201 brain SPECT
Introduction: Meningioma is usually a benign brain tumor, but sometimes with aggressive course. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of 201Tl Brain SPECT to differentiate the pathologic grade of meningioma preoperatively. Methods: Thirty lesions in 28 patients were evaluated in this study. Early (20 minutes) and late (3 hours) brain SPECT images were performed and early u...

Meningioma is the second most common brain tumor. The extent of peritumoral brain edema (PTBE) is one of the important prognostic factors in patients with meningioma.A 55-year-old female patient suffering from a progressive severe headache and mild left hemiparesis was referred to the Department of Neurosurgery, Rasool Akram Hospital (Tehran, Iran). The preoperative imaging revealed a 2×2 cm so...

Introduction: Meningioma is a benign and slowly-growing tumor that is responsible for 20% of brain neoplasms. It can be accompanied by some genetic disorders such as neurofibromatosis type 2 and is more common among women. As a space occupying lesion, it produces a wide range of signs and symptoms by compressing the adjacent and underlying tissues in the brain. Trauma and vi...
متن کاملSerum Levels of Glial Fibrillaryacidic Protein in Meningioma
Background: Glial fibrillaryacidic protein (GFAP), an intermediate filament protein, is mainly expressed by astrocytes, but some other cells like enteric glia and non-myelinating Schwann cells can also express GFAP. GFAP elevation has been reported in some types of meningioma and malignant brain tumors. In the present study, we analyzed the association between serum levels of GFAP with meningio...
