Intraoperative ultrasound in low-grade glioma surgery

The limited accuracy of neuronavigation due to the brain shift caused by the loss of cerebrospinal fluid, tumor debulking and/or by positioning of the head is a well-known phenomenon. [...]the higher accuracy of 2D-ultrasound, that allows a real-time intraoperative imaging, is not surprising. [...]f...

More Information
Summary:The limited accuracy of neuronavigation due to the brain shift caused by the loss of cerebrospinal fluid, tumor debulking and/or by positioning of the head is a well-known phenomenon. [...]the higher accuracy of 2D-ultrasound, that allows a real-time intraoperative imaging, is not surprising. [...]fluid was developed recently by group of Unsgaard [5,6]. Because the coupling fluid attenuates ultrasound energy like normal brain tissue, the AEAs are minimized.
