Confocal Neurolasermicroscopy in Human Brain – Perspectives for Neurosurgery on a Cellular Level (including additional Comments to this article)

Abstract

NLM is a tool which could be adapted for neurosurgical intraoperative applications with the potential to diagnose tumours and recognise the tumour centre and infiltration zone in vivo. Further applications of NLM to characterise subcellular structures and vascular architecture are possible.
