Comparison of Neuro-navigational Systems for Resection-Control of Brain Tumors

NCT00977327 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 120

Last updated 2009-09-15

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Purpose:

* Improvement of extent of resection by the use of intraoperatively acquired image data sets to navigate.
* Better define the role of different intra-operative imaging modalities, used to update the navigational data set, in aiding the surgeon during resection of intra-axial brain lesions.
* To examine the cost-effectiveness of different intraoperative navigational systems as a function of operative time and Operative time (Surgery including imaging)

There is increasing neuro-oncological evidence that extent of resection might have an impact in particular in low-grade lesions.
