Abstract

An optical spectroscopy-based system for intraoperative guidance of brain tumor resection is currently under development at Vanderbilt University and Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The effectiveness of brain tumor margin detection, especially the infiltrating type, using combined in vivo autofluorescence and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy was successfully demonstrated in a preliminary clinical trial (on a total of 26 brain tumor patients). In this trial, a two-step empirical discrimination algorithm based on autofluorescence and diffuse reflectance intensity at 460 nm and 625 nm yielded 100% sensitivity and 76% specificity in differentiating infiltrating tumor margins from normal brain tissues.
