AA = anaplastic astrocytoma; AOA = anaplastic oligoastrocytoma; blue light (visual) = maximal visually perceived fluorescence under blue-light excitation; blue light (quantitative) = maximal PpIX concentration estimate using blue-light excitation, multispectral camera, and correction for optical properties; red light (spectrally fit) = maximal PpIX concentration estimate using red-light excitation and hyperspectral camera.

Visual fluorescence was graded as none (0), low (1), moderate (2), or high (3).
