Current Applications and Advances in Fluorescence Guided Surgery
Course Overview
Participants will be receive an overview on the concept of fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) for the resection of brain and spinal cord tumors. Neurosurgeons will understand the current technologies available for FGS and the different tumor types that can undergo FGS. Safety, diagnostic accuracy, and Level 1 evidence in support of FGS will also be discussed.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
 
~ Define the use of FGS for brain tumors with 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) and fluorescein
~ Identify different brain and spinal cord tumor types that are amenable to FGS 
~ Distinguish the technical aspects of FGS, including the use of FGS for real-time intraoperative guidance, tumor margin visualization, and reported extents of tumor resection.
~ Explain patient safety with FGS
~ Demonstrate the difference between current and future FGS microscope technology; and
~ Summarize the current US regulatory state for FGS.
