No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of the study is to test the feasibility of obtaining interpretable in vivo endomicroscopy images which can be compared with traditional histopathology.

Hypothesis: That a rigid confocal endomicroscope can be used during neurosurgery to provide in vivo histology that enables differentiation of tumour tissue from normal adjacent brain tissue.
