2. 1. On optical methods for intracerebral measurements during stereotactic and functional neurosurgery : Experimental studies

   Author : Johan Antonsson; Karin Wårdell; Lars-Erik Augustinsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Laser Doppler perfusion monitoring; Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy; Functional and stereotactic neurosurgery; Medical engineering; Medicinsk teknik;

   Abstract : Radio frequency (RF) lesioning and deep brain stimulation (DBS) are the two prevailing surgical treatments for movement disorders within the field of stereotactic and functional neurosurgery. For RF-lesioning, a small volume of brain tissue is coagulated and knowledge of the lesion size and growth is of great importance for the safety and outcome of the procedure. READ MORE

4. 2. Optical measurements in brain tissue during radio frequency lesioning

   Author : Johan Antonsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Radio frequency (RF) lesioning is a well well-known procedure within the field of stereotactic neurosurgery, commonly used for the treatment of movement disorders. During the intervention, an RF-electrode is inserted into the deeper parts of the brain, where a small volume of malfunctioning brain tissue will be coagulated. READ MORE
