Preface
In the pursuit of the goal of continuous improvement in surgical results, intraoperative imaging technologies have taken an ever-increasing role in the daily practice of neurosurgeons. To adapt available imaging technologies to the operating room a considerable amount of effort has been focused on the subject. Most centers have taken individual and independent approaches on the subject and an ever-diversifying field of “intraoperative imaging’’ has been created. In an initiative of coordinating and symbiotically integrating these novel technologies, the international “Intraoperative Imaging Society’’ has been formed. After the second international meeting of the society, this book is aimed to bring together both the essence and details of the current status. The initial drive for intraoperative imaging in neurosurgery came from the demands of neurooncology. Accumulating evidence over the years has indicated that a more complete resection of brain tumors was associated with a lower incidence of recurrences and longer survival. This led to a search for techniques and technologies to improve the extent of surgical resections. Stereotactic techniques have led to the development of Neuronavigation as a means to
