Pituitary adenomas treated by microsurgery with or without Gamma Knife surgery: experience in 122 cases.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Applications in clinical medicine can benefit from fusion of spectroscopy data with anatomical imagery. For example, new 3-dimensional (3D) spectroscopy techniques allow for improved correlation of metabolite profiles with specific regions of interest in anatomical tumor images, which can be useful in charac...
