Neurosurgery
Clinical research
- Establishment of minimally-invasive Neurosurgery: Neuroendoscopy, Endovascular Surgery, Stereotaxic Surgery.
- Establishment of a monitoring method for Neurosurgery: adoption of a neuro-navigation system that combines neuroimaging, EEG evoked potential, and ultrasonic methodology.
- Establishment of neuro-imaging for Intractable Epilepsy: Adoption of a non-invasive protocol for epileptic lesion identification.
- Multidisciplinary treatment for Brain Tumors
- Pediatric neurosurgery that places top priority on improvement of QOL
Basic research Themes
- Electrophysiological research related to the reversibility of neurological function in Cerebral Ischemia.
- Experimental research towards the eradication of Brain Tumor
