Inside Front Cover: Neurosurgical brain tumor detection based on intraoperative optical intrinsic signal imaging technique: A case report of glioblastoma (J. Biophotonics 1/2020)

Intraoperative neurosurgical diagnosis of brain tumor determines the success rate of patients' prognoses. We firstly proposed a novel approach based on an optical method to distinguish the site of the tumor functionally. The promoted technique is non-invasive, non-radioactive, dye-free, and potential of real-time monitoring, which is still not available nowadays by using other techniques. The method could be applied to neuroimage guiding system for precision surgery of brain.
