In Vivo Confocal Microscopy Tumor Atlas Study

Status unconfirmed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Brain Neoplasms

In brief

This study aims to create an atlas based on the preliminary experience of the first feasibility study in neurosurgery. Hypothesis: That a confocal endomicroscope can be used during neurosurgery to provide in vivo histology that enables documentation of neurological pathology across a range of tumor ypes and grades, suitable for comparison with traditional histopathology from site-matched biopsies.
