Intraoperative high frequency ultrasound in intracerebral high-grade tumors

Purpose: To demonstrate the utility of a new concept of intraoperative use of high frequency
ultrasound (hfioUS) in maximizing the extent of resection (EOR) of intracerebral high-grade
tumors. Materials and Methods: 22 Patients harboring an intracerebral high-grade tumor
were retrospectively included in this study (14 primary tumors, 8 metastasis). 14 of them had
a perilesional edema equal or greater to lesion volume, 3 had previously received
radiotherapy. Following macroscopic tumor debulking, the small (11× 31 mm) L15–7io …
