Summary
Intraoperative ultrasound provides a versatile imaging tool for neurosurgery, enabling direct control and biopsy of brain lesions and spinal conditions. This cost-effective method remains valuable after a decade of use.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Medical Imaging
- Diagnostic Ultrasound
Background:
- Intraoperative ultrasound imaging offers distinct advantages compared to other modalities.
- Its application in neurosurgery has evolved over ten years.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present the authors' experience with intraoperative ultrasound in a cohort of 100 patients.
- To highlight the utility of ultrasound for various intracranial and spinal pathologies.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective review of 100 neurosurgical cases utilizing intraoperative ultrasound.
- Analysis of imaging data and procedural outcomes.
Main Results:
- Ultrasound facilitated direct control and biopsy of intracerebral lesions, including gliomas, metastases, abscesses, and cysts.
- Effective application for spinal cord lesions and spinal traumas was demonstrated.
- A large collection of intraoperative ultrasound images was compiled.
Conclusions:
- Intraoperative ultrasound is a valuable, cost-effective, and easy-to-use tool in neurosurgery.
- It enables precise management of diverse intracranial and spinal pathologies.
- The method has proven sustained utility in clinical practice.
