Feasibility, Safety, and Performance of Full-Head Subscalp EEG Using Minimally Invasive Electrode Implantation

Feasibility, Safety, and Performance of Full-Scalp Subdural EEG - A Report on Minimally Invasive Electrode Implantation Background and Purpose Since Berger first recorded human scalp electrical signals and discovered the alpha rhythm in 1929, the recording capabilities of electroencephalography (EEG) have significantly improved in terms of spatial ...

Analysis of Cerebral CT Based on Supervised Machine Learning as a Predictor of Outcome After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Brain CT Analysis as a Tool for Outcome Prediction after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Supervised Machine Learning Analysis Research Background Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) is one of the leading causes of death in the Western world, with extremely low survival rates, ranging from 3% to 16%. The neurological and overall outcomes after O...

Contemporary Cohort of Cerebral Cavernous Malformations: Natural History and Utility of Follow-Up MRI

Natural History and MRI Follow-up of Patients with Cerebral Cavernous Malformations Background Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are vascular malformations of the brain and spinal cord lined by endothelial cells and lacking smooth muscle. Due to the disruption of endothelial cell permeability and tight junctions, patients may present with foc...

Phantom and In Vivo Accuracy of Frameless Optical Navigation in Stereotactic Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy

Accuracy of Frameless Optical Navigation in Stereotactic Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy Background Glioblastoma is a rapidly growing and invasive brain tumor, and traditional treatment methods include surgical resection, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. However, for some patients with deep-seated tumors or poor physical conditions, traditio...

Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy for First-Line Treatment of Insular Glioma: A Novel Treatment Framework

Application of Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy in Insular Gliomas Research Background and Problem Statement The management of insular gliomas has always faced significant surgical challenges. Due to the complex functional and vascular anatomy surrounding the insula, maximally safe resection is highly technically challenging. Removing low-grade a...
