Real Time MRI Guidance and Visualization for Brain Surgery Using Clearpoint System: Interview with CEO of MRI Interventions
Ever since the 1950s neurosurgeons have been using static images, taken prior to the procedure, to guide them through an operation. Brain surgeries performed in this manner are based a great deal on trial and error, and require the patient to stay awake as the surgeon painstakingly works for hours to determine if the therapy reached the correct location in the brain. Now, MRI Interventions, an Irvine, CA company, is developing a novel technology called Clearpoint that uses real time, intra-procedural magnetic resonance imaging to guide neurological procedures. The Clearpoint system is intended to be used for treatment ...

Can Lasers Cure Brain Diseases Like Alzheimer's?
Conclusions
These diseases arise when amyloid beta protein are aggregated in large doses so they start to inhibit proper cellular processes.
Different proteins create different kinds of amyloids, but they generally have the same structure. This makes them different from the well-functioning proteins in the body, which can now be shown by multi photon laser technique.

New Laser Imaging Technique Highlights Brain Tumors Among Healthy Tissue
This image of a human glioblastoma brain tumor in the brain of a mouse was made with stimulated Raman scattering, or SRS, microscopy. The technique allows the tumor (blue) to be easily distinguished from normal tissue (green) based on faint signals emitted by tissue with different cellular structures.
Intracranial cancers usually look the same as the healthy tissue surrounding them. With tumor resection in the brain, it is particularly important to remove the whole of the tumor while damaging as little normal brain matter as possible. A number of techniques exist for differentiating tumors, but each has its limitations.
No...

Transparent Cranial Window Implant for Brain Monitoring, Laser Therapy
Our ossified craniums have evolved over the eons to protect the brains from harmful injuries, but this tough bone structure also prevents easy access to the brain for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Specifically, laser light that can otherwise visualize tissue and ablate anything needing removal can’t pass through the cranium and is essentially useless unless holes are drilled prior to each procedure.
Researchers at University of California, Riverside have developed a transparent prosthetic implant that can replace a piece of skull and provide a window to the brain that can be used repeatedly to monitor a site o...
