Fluorescence-Guided Resection of Malignant Glioma with 5-ALA

Figure 7

The analysis of the fluorescence spectrum and the histology in each lesion. Lesion (a) was central necrosis without macroscopic fluorescence. Lesion (b) showed the highest fluorescence macroscopically. Lesion (c) showed a faint fluorescence macroscopically. Lesion (d), adjacent to lesion (c), did not show macroscopic fluorescence. Lesion (e) did not show any fluorescence. The left panel shows the analysis of the fluorescence spectrum, and the right panel shows the histological examinations and MIB-1 index.
