Trial Identification

Brief Title: Comparison of Neuro-navigational Systems for Resection-Control of Brain Tumors

Official Title: Comparison of Two Neuro-navigational Systems for Resection-control of Intra-axial Brain Tumors. The PoleStarN-20 Intra-operative Magnet Resonance Imager and the Mison SonoWand Intra-operative Ultrasound System

Study ID: NCT00977327

Conditions

Glioma

Interventions

Intraoperative MR (PoleStar N-20, Medtronics)

Intraoperative Ultrasound (Sonowand, Mison)

Study Description

Brief 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.
