This picture is an actual camera shot of her brain, with the grids superimposed with identification. The circles represent the sensors on the grid that was placed on Katie's brain. The dark black circles and the white circles show the area where the tumor was. The tumor was located withing the perimeter of circles 4, 5, 13, and 12. This picture also identifies the different areas of her brain that help the doctors determine where the motor cortex, the sensory cortex and the language cortex were located in relation to the tumor.
This picture shows the tumor (golden yellow). The red line is the dividing line between the motor cortex (right) and the sensory cortex behind (left).
The dots in this picture are the sensors of the grid.
There is another picture that Dr. Asono has that is a post-op picture. Hopefully we will get a copy of that one too.
