[Method of highly sensitive electrothermometry for intraoperative diagnosis of supratentorial brain tumors]

The authors suggest a method of highly sensitive electrothermometry tested on 56 patients with extra- and intracerebral tumours of the brain matter of supratentorial localization. This method makes it possible to determine the localization, boundaries, dimensions and character of the tumour during the operation, which is essential for its subsequent removal with the least possible injury to surrounding tissues.
