Cool Pictures from MRI and CT Scan

First MRI picture of the tumor. White spot on right side. 
This picture below was taken during her Wada Test. You can see the wire on the lower right side being sent through her artery.
This next picture below was taken during the CT scan while they placed the head frame on her head. You can see two of the four pins that were secured in her skull to keep frame in place. 
In the picture below, you can see the laser fiber that was place in the tumor. This picture was taken at some point during the "burn". 
This colorful picture of her brain is just cool! Not exactly sure what it tells us. 

This picture shows the black hole where the tumor once lived!


This last picture is a neat profile picture of Erica's head.

  1. I found your blog this morning as I was looking for blogs in regards to brain surgery. I underwent brain surgery approximately 12 weeks ago to also have a biopsy of two brain tumours. I too had seizures, which are thankfully under control with medication, and that is how my tumours were discovered. I feel for Erica but am so happy to have read that she is improving. Send her my well wishes from all the way over in Australia.

    God Bless.
