Figure 7.
Paired contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) comparisons in five patients undergoing skull base tumor resection. (A) CNR values before and after intraoperative microvascular Doppler (MVD) application in Cases 24, 41, 55, 56, and 37, demonstrating consistent improvement following Doppler-based vessel identification. (B) CNR values from MVD and FLOW800 images in Cases 37 and 56, showing higher vessel-to-background contrast with fluorescence-based perfusion imaging. Each line connects the same patient. CNRs were calculated independently from grayscale images acquired using each modality. No image merging or overlay was performed.
