Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Endoscopy

Background:

  • Transendoscopic imaging is crucial for neurosurgical procedures.
  • Real-time visualization aids in complex interventions.
  • Limitations exist in current neuroendoscopic imaging techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the first application of a sono catheter for transendoscopic imaging in neurosurgery.
  • To assess the utility of this technology in various neurosurgical lesions.
  • To determine if endo-neuro-sonography improves safety and ease of neuroendoscopic procedures.

Main Methods:

  • A 1.9 mm (6F) transendoscopic sono catheter was utilized.
  • The catheter was inserted into the working channel of an endoscope.
  • A 360-degree "brain radar" scan was displayed on a monitor with adjustable parameters.

Main Results:

  • The sono catheter was applied in 52 neurosurgery patients.
  • Intraoperative imaging was the primary use in 39 patients; neuronavigation in 13.
  • Tumor resection control was performed in 18 cases, with visualization of remnants.

Conclusions:

  • Endo-neuro-sonography demonstrated potential in a small patient series.
  • The technology offers online, real-time, high-resolution imaging.
  • It may enhance the safety and ease of neuroendoscopy.
