Neurosurgery makes use of preoperative imaging to visualize pathology, inform surgical
planning, and evaluate the safety of selected approaches. The utility of preoperative imaging …

Opinion statement Central nervous system tumors are a major cause of morbidity and
mortality in the United States. Outside of brain metastasis, low-and high-grade gliomas are …

Background Image-guided surgery has become standard practice during surgical resection,
using preoperative magnetic resonance imaging. Intraoperative ultrasound (IoUS) has …

Background Surgical resection of high-grade gliomas (HGG) is standard therapy because it
imparts significant progression free (PFS) and overall survival (OS). However, HGG-tumor …

Intraoperative ultrasonography (iUS) is considered an accurate, safe, and cost-effective tool
to estimate the extent of resection of both high-grade (HGG) and low-grade (DLGG) diffuse …

Maximal safe resection represents the gold standard for surgery of malignant brain tumors.
As regards gross-total resection, accurate localization and precise delineation of the tumor …

The goal of glioma surgery is maximal safe resection. These intrinsic brain neoplasms,
however, lack a clear margin and frequently infiltrate eloquent areas of the brain thus …

Intraoperative imaging is a useful adjunct to achieving a maximally safe resection during
high-grade glioma surgery. There are a variety of modalities available including iMRI, iUS …

BACKGROUND Maximizing extent of resection (EOR) and reducing residual tumor volume
(RTV) while preserving neurological functions is the main goal in the surgical treatment of …

Gliomas are CNS neoplasms that infiltrate the surrounding brain parenchyma, complicating
their treatment. Tools that increase extent of resection while preventing neurological deficit …
