      Background Use of ultrasound in brain tumor surgery is common. The difference in attenuation between brain and isotonic saline may cause artifacts that degrade the ultrasound images, potentially affecting resection grades ...
    • Are there predilection sites for intracranial meningioma? A population-based atlas 

      Hosainey, Sayied Abdol Mohieb; Bouget, David; Reinertsen, Ingerid; Sagberg, Lisa Millgård; Torp, Sverre Helge; Jakola, Asgeir Store; Solheim, Ole (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Meningioma is the most common benign intracranial tumor and is believed to arise from arachnoid cap cells of arachnoid granulations. We sought to develop a population-based atlas from pre-treatment MRIs to explore the ...
    • Is the anatomical distribution of low-grade gliomas linked to regions of gliogenesis? 

      Skjulsvik, Anne Jarstein; Bø, Hans Kristian; Jakola, Asgeir S; Berntsen, Erik Magnus; Bø, Lars Eirik; Reinertsen, Ingerid; Myrmel, Kristin Smistad; Sjåvik, Kristin; Åberg, Kristin; Berg, Thomas; Hong, Yan Dai; Kloster, Roar; Torp, Sverre Helge; Solheim, Ole (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Introduction: According to the stem cell theory, two neurogenic niches in the adult human brain may harbor cells that initiate the formation of gliomas: The larger subventricular zone (SVZ) and the subgranular zone (SGZ) ...
