【 摘 要 】

The technique of intraoperative fluorescence diagnosis with alasens for brain metastases includes visual assessment of alasens-induced protoporphyrin IX fluorescence and local spectroscopy. The technique allows to reduce the rate of misdiagnosis, to assess accurate local extent of brain metastases and to improve surgical radicality. When applying this technique the sensitivity of fluorescence diagnosis is 96.7%, the specificity is 100%. The technique is designed for neurosurgeons specialized on neurooncology.
