Background The paucity of neurosurgical care in East Africa remains largely unaddressed. A
sustained investment in local health infrastructures and staff training is needed to create an …

OBJECTIVE: In 1995, a project was initiated in Trondheim, Norway, to investigate various
possibilities for more frequent use of ultrasound in brain surgery. Since that time, the quality …

Abstract Since 1987, Ultrasound (US) is performed routinely as real time navigation system
in our neurosurgical practice. In 374 cases with different pathologies the preoperative CT …

Despite advances in medical imaging techniques and their routine preoperative use, real-
time intraoperative information regarding anatomy remains of significant importance to the …

For the time being, for example, it does not make sense to attempt to replace the capabilities
of the human hand in neurosurgery. This has of course been worthwhile in the prosthesis …

Background Surgical resection of brain mass lesion mandates safety and the best outcome
for the patient. Objectives The aim of this study was the evaluation of intraoperative …

Objective Ultrasound is considered a real-time imaging method in neuro-oncology because
of its highly rapid image acquisition time. However, to our knowledge, there are no studies …

METHODS: A systematic review of published articles, including clinical studies, reports, and
healthcare infrastructure assessments, was conducted to gather data on the availability and …

✓ The development of a unique neurosurgical navigator is described and a preliminary
series of seven cases of intracerebral lesions approached with the assistance of this …

Objective Intraoperative imaging is a chief asset in neurosurgical oncology, it improves the
extent of resection and postoperative outcomes. Imaging devices have evolved …
