Accurate and reliable intraoperative neuronavigation is crucial for achieving maximal safe
resection of brain tumors. Intraoperative MRI (iMRI) has received significant attention as the …

Background Surgery for cranial and spinal tumors has evolved tremendously over the years.
Not only have neuro-oncologists been able to better understand tumor biology and thereby …

Background As an intraoperative imaging modality, ultrasound is a user-friendly and cost-
effective real-time imaging technique. Despite this, it is still not routinely employed for brain …

The main goal in meningioma surgery is to achieve complete tumor removal, when possible,
while improving or preserving patient neurological functions. Intraoperative imaging …

Background Intraoperative ultrasound for intracranial neurosurgery was largely abandoned
in the 1980s due to poor image resolution. Despite many technological advances in …

Introduction The extent of tumor resection is a significant predictor of survival in high-grade
gliomas. In recent years, several authors showed the benefit of intraoperative ultrasound …

Background One of the main challenges during skull base tumor surgery is identifying the
relationships between the lesion and the principal intracranial vessels. To this end …

PURPOSE: Advances in intraoperative imaging and neuronavigation techniques have
positively affected glioma surgery. The desire to reduce brain-shift-related problems while …

Achieving total glioma resection represents a major challenge to neurosurgeons with no
distinct margin between tumor and surrounding brain tissue. Many imaging methods are …

Background Our aim was to evaluate the usefulness of modern intraoperative
ultrasonography (iUS) in the resection of a wide variety of spinal intradural pathologic …
