• Animal study assessing safety of an acoustic coupling fluid that holds the potential to avoid surgically induced artifacts in 3D ultrasound guided operations 

      Jakola, Asgeir S; Jørgensen, Arve; Selbekk, Tormod; Michler, Ralf-Peter; Solheim, Ole; Torp, Sverre Helge; Sagberg, Lisa Millgård; Aadahl, Petter; Unsgård, Geirmund (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      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 ...
    • Is the anatomical distribution of low-grade gliomas linked to regions of gliogenesis?

      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) ...
    • Spatial distribution of malignant transformation in patients with low-grade glioma 

      Jakola, Asgeir S; Bouget, David Nicolas Jean-Marie; Reinertsen, Ingerid; Skjulsvik, Anne Jarstein; Sagberg, Lisa Millgård; Bø, Hans Kristian; Gulati, Sasha; Sjåvik, Kristin; Solheim, Ole (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Background Malignant transformation represents the natural evolution of diffuse low-grade gliomas (LGG). This is a catastrophic event, causing neurocognitive symptoms, intensified treatment and premature death. However, ...
