Visualize introperatively brain tumors during neurosurgery

This project aims to distinguish healthy brain tissue from tumorous tissue and to visualise the orientation of the fibre tracks during brain tumor surgery.​The goal is the integration into a neurosurgical microscope to be used on humans. The resection of the tumor can thereby be executed more radical and safer which finally benefits the patient through an improved prognosis and a minor surgical risk.
