Abstract | Glioma is known with its strong invasion. As there is a limitation in preoperative inspection, the only procedure for improving postoperative result is to examine, during the operation, if there is no residual tumor, and if any, to remove as completely as possible. For this purpose, a quick and compact observation tool with a high contrast and spatial resolution is required. Acoustic micro-imaging for biological tissues can be performed quickly without staining process. This study is aimed for establishing in situ detection for brain tumor during surgery. Under general anesthesia, rats were received with an intracerebral injection of C6 glioma cells. The brain was taken out and its coronal section was exposed 14 days later. The cross section was placed on a polypropylene substrate, and was observed by transmitting an ultrasound from the other side of the substrate. The ultrasound, of which central frequency was ca. 80 MHz, was focused on the interface between the substrate and tissue. The reflection, received by the identical transducer, was interpreted into the local characteristic acoustic impedance (CAI) of the tissue. By scanning the transducer, a cross sectional CAI profile was obtained. The morphological inspection of the CAI profile allowed us to identify the tumor. The average value of CAI in tumor region did not significantly differ from that in the normal region. However, the tumor region showed considerable heterogeneity in the CAI pattern. Standard deviation of CAI in a small probing area was defined as the local heterogeneity. The heterogeneity profile, which was obtained by scanning the probing area, successfully highlighted the tumor region. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
