Frozen Sections

The primary objective of this single-center study is to demonstrate the performance of cCeLL, used in real time, compared to frozen section analysis. The investigational device is intended for use with indocyanine green (ICG) for fluorescence imaging as an aid in the visualization of vessels (micro- and macro-vasculature) blood flow in the cerebrovascular before, during or after cranial diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, such as tumor biopsy and resection, and the images will be immediately transmitted to a single pathologist for real-time evaluation, without influencing the surgical decision-making process. The comparison will be made between the device and the conventional intraoperative histological frozen section analysis of identical brain tissue samples in the same patient. Both methods will be compared in terms of their accuracy using the standard of practice, the final pathological diagnosis.

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of cCeLL compared to frozen section analysis. The investigational device is intended for use with indocyanine green (ICG) for fluorescence imaging as an aid in the visualization of vessels (micro- and macro-vasculature) blood flow in the cerebrovascular before, during or after cranial diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, such as tumor biopsy and resection, which is then read and analyzed by trained-professional for intraoperative diagnosis. The comparison will be held by the device with the conventional intraoperative histological frozen section analysis of identical brain tissue samples in the same patient. Both methods will be compared in terms of their accuracy using the standard of practice, the final pathological diagnosis.
