Inflammation and intracranial aneurysms.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Adult gliomas have indistinct borders. As the ratio of neoplastic cells to normal cells becomes lower, the ability to detect these cells diminishes. We describe a device designed to augment intraoperative identification of both solid tumor and infiltrating tumor margins. METHODS:A novel, intraoperative, opti...
