    Summary

    Intraoperative ultrasonography effectively detects deep brain tumors during surgery. This imaging technique aids neurosurgeons in precisely locating and characterizing primary brain tumors, including masses, calcifications, and cysts.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Medical Imaging
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Craniotomies for primary brain tumors necessitate precise surgical navigation.
    • Intraoperative imaging modalities are crucial for enhancing surgical accuracy and safety.

    Observation:

    • A B-mode real-time linear scanner with a small probe head was utilized.
    • The scanner was employed during nine craniotomies for primary brain tumor resection.

    Findings:

    • Intraoperative ultrasonography proved highly effective in detecting and localizing subcortical and deep-seated brain tumors.
    • Sonography visualized tumors as hyperechogenic masses, with calcifications appearing as echogenic particles and cysts as hypoechogenic areas.
    • The technique demonstrated clear visualization of tumor characteristics, aiding in surgical planning and execution.

    Implications:

    • Intraoperative ultrasonography offers significant advantages for neurosurgical interventions involving brain tumors.
    • This modality enhances the ability to precisely delineate tumor margins and identify critical structures.
    • Further integration of intraoperative ultrasonography can improve patient outcomes in neuro-oncological surgery.
