Intraoperative navigated ultrasound in posterior fossa surgery by Bopp Miriam, Saß Benjamin, Pojskic Mirza, Grote Alexander, Nimsky Christopher

“…Data of 23 patients (28 lesions) undergoing navigation supported surgery in the posterior fossa with application of navigated iUS including acquisition of a 3D iUS data set were evaluated retrospectively based on intraoperative ratings on accuracy and tumor segmentation based on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and iUS data. In nine cases (eleven lesions) navigation was rated “insufficient” leading to a navigation update by manually outlining the tumor volumes within the iUS data set, whereas in all other cases navigation accuracy was rated “sufficient” with no need for further updates. …”

[F]Fluoroethyltyrosine–Positron Emission Tomography-Based Therapy Monitoring after Stereotactic Iodine-125 Brachytherapy in Patients with Recurrent High-Grade Glioma by Nathalie L. Jansen, Bogdana Suchorska, Silke B. Schwarz, Sabina Eigenbrod, Juergen Lutz, Vera Graute, Peter Bartenstein, Claus Belka, Friedrich W. Kreth, Christian la Fougère

“…Therapy monitoring of glioma after stereotactic iodine-125 brachytherapy (SBT) remains challenging because posttherapeutic changes in magnetic resonance imaging can mimic tumor progression. We evaluated the prognostic value of serial [ 18 F]fluoroethyltyrosine (FET)-positron emission tomographic (PET) scans for therapy monitoring of high-grade glioma (HGG) after SBT. …”

Multimodality Registration without a Dedicated Multimodality Scanner by Bradley J. Beattie, Gregor J. Förster, Ricardo Govantes, Carl H. Le, Valerie A. Longo, Pat B. Zanzonico, Luc Bidaut, Ronald G. Blasberg, Jason A. Koutcher

“…Although the resultant registered functional/structural image sets can greatly enhance the interpretability of the functional data, the cost of multimodality systems can be prohibitive, and they are often limited to two modalities, which generally do not include magnetic resonance imaging. Using a thin plastic wrap to immobilize and fix a mouse or other small animal atop a removable bed, we are able to calculate registrations between all combinations of four different small animal imaging scanners (positron emission tomography, single-photon emission computed tomography, magnetic resonance, and computed tomography [CT]) at our disposal, effectively equivalent to a quadruple-modality scanner. …”
