To evaluate the impact of real-time conventional neuronavigation combining NUS and preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on maximizing EOR in glioma surgery compared to standard conventional neuronavigation
The use of NUS-based real-time imaging modality promoted better EOR and neurological outcomes following the resection of noneloquent high-grade gliomas compared to standard conventional neuronavigation. NUS has proven to be useful in detecting
To evaluate the relative utility and benefits of free-hand 2DUS and navigated 3DUS as ultrasound-guided biopsy techniques for supratentorial lesions
Despite the longer operative time and higher postoperative complication rates, NUS was beneficial for biopsies of deep-seated supratentorial lesions, while free-hand 2DUS remained valuable for superficial lesions
To assess whether the combined use of navigated ultrasonography integrating FMRIB software library-based probabilistic fiber tracking into neuronavigation was technically feasible and achievable in the preoperative and intraoperative workflow
Integration of probabilistic fiber tracking and navigated ultrasonography into intraoperative neuronavigation facilitated anatomic orientation during glioma resection. Combination with NUS provided a three-dimensional estimation of intraoperative brain shift, thereby improving the reliability of neuronavigation
To evaluate the use of NUS (linear array intraoperative ultrasound) for resection control in glioblastoma surgery
NUS (linear array intraoperative ultrasound) can be used as a safe and precise tool for intracranial image-guided resection control of GBM. NUS showed a significantly higher residual tumor detection rate compared to conventional imaging
