Method of intraoperative spectroscopic detection of tumor tissues in neurosurgery

Abstract

The proposed method provides neurosurgical intraoperative navigation using optical spectroscopy and neurophysiological stimulation. The device contains a spectrometer, sources of optical radiation and fiber-optic probe, the working part of which is made in one body with a cannula of neurosurgical aspirator and can be used also as a monopolar stimulant for the system of intraoperative neuromonitoring.
