gliomadiffusefocalprognosisBrain stem gliomas are a heterogenous group of tumors. MRI scanning is the neurodiagnostic test of choice in defining the anatomy of these lesions. By combining the clinical exam with the neuro-imaging studies it is now possible to individualize patient management (Table 1...
brain stem glioma - brain stem tumors being heterogeneous; patients with diffuse pontine tumors - usually present with short history (weeks) of signs or symptoms; diagnosis in typical cases - made via MRI scan, without biopsy; diffuse pontine tumors - significant portion of deaths due to childhoo...
Brain MRI usually shows multifocal gray and white matter lesions in cortical and subcortical regions.139 Oncological associations include thymoma, small-cell lung cancer, rectal cancer in association with HIV, and multiple myeloma treated with peripheral stem cell transplantation and lenalidomide. Patients...

Preprocessing of MRI data, brainstem segmentations, and quality control procedures Raw T1-weighted MRI data for all individuals was stored and analyzed locally at the University of Oslo. The whole brainstem, midbrain, pons, SCP, and medulla oblongata were then delineated using Freesurfer 6.022 and...
such as those attributed to neural stem cells, and these features may be potentially advantageous for generating different cell populations. Indeed, it has been demonstrated that transplanted human neural stem cells can mature into the phenotype of cells that are undergoing cell death in brains of ...
