Abstract:
Intraoperative ultrasonography is an extremely valuable tool for avoidance of complications during neurosurgical procedures, including resection of intracranial and spinal cord tumors, removal of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhages and arteriovenous malformations, and ventricular access for shunt placements. Nevertheless, application of this highly useful technique may be accompanied by some challenges and difficulties, as well as human errors; thus, it requires specific knowledge and continuous training.

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
