چکیده

ince the first recorded use of the “ultrasonoscope” for localizing subcortical intracerebral neoplasms in postmorS tem specimens in 1950 (4), technological advances in ultrasound have seen a transformation from poor-quality, A-mode wave forms to superb-quality, real-time images in 2 (2D) and 3 (3D) dimensions. As a result, intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS) has undergone remarkable development, particularly in the last 2 decades.

Intraoperative ultrasound for guidance and tissue shift correction in image-guided neurosurgery.

We present a surgical guidance system that incorporates pre-operative image information (e.g., MRI) with intraoperative ultrasound (US) imaging to detect and correct for brain tissue deformation during image-guided neurosurgery (IGNS). Many interactive IGNS implementations employ pre-operative images as a guide to the surgeons throughout the procedure. However, when a craniotomy is involved, ti...

Neuronavigation by intraoperative three-dimensional ultrasound: initial experience during brain tumor resection.

OBJECTIVE Three-dimensional (3-D) ultrasound is an intraoperative imaging modality used in neuronavigation as an alternative to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This article summarizes 4 years of clinical experience in the use of intraoperative 3-D ultrasound integrated into neuronavigation for guidance in brain tumor resection. METHODS Patients were selected for inclusion in the study on th...

Intraoperative MRI in neurosurgery: technical overkill or the future of brain surgery?

The development of image-guided neurosurgery represents a substantial improvement in the microsurgical treatment of tumors, vascular malformations and other intracranial lesions. Despite the wide applicability and many fascinating aspects of image-guided navigation systems, a major drawback of this technology is they use images, mainly MRI pictures, acquired preoperatively, on which the plannin...

Is intraoperative ultrasound required in cervical spinal tumors? A prospective study.

AIM To determine the role of intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUSG) in the surgical management of patients with intradural spinal tumors. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-six patients with intradural spinal cord tumors were surgically treated under intraoperative ultrasonographic guidance between January 2007 and May 2011. Guidance with IOUSG was used in 26 patients, of which 14 fourteen had extra...

Estimation of brain deformation for volumetric image updating in protoporphyrin IX fluorescence-guided resection.

INTRODUCTION Fluorescence-guided resection (FGR) of brain tumors is an intuitive, practical and emerging technology for visually delineating neoplastic tissue exposed intraoperatively. Image guidance is the standard technique for producing 3-dimensional spatially coregistered information for surgical decision making. Both technologies together are synergistic: the former detects surface fluores...
