Comparison of color difference formulas to best distinguish resected areas of malignant brain tumors from their background using 5-aminolevulinic acid fluorescence.

CONCLUSIONS: ΔE* obtained the best colour discrimination between the resected areas of malignant brain tumours and the background when compared to CR and CIEDE2000. Therefore, ΔE* may be the best formula to help neurosurgeons distinguish the colour differences when operating malignant brain tumours with 5-ALA fluorescence.
