Background: Image-guided procedures such as computed tomography (CT) guided,
neuronavigator-guided and ultrasound-guided methods can assist neurosurgeons in …

BACKGROUND To establish a rational basis for intraoperative ultrasound guidance in
neurosurgical procedures via a single burr hole approach based on the experience of one …

✓ Forty-one patients with brain lesions underwent brain biopsy using either a computerized
tomography (CT)-guided stereotactic approach or an ultrasound-guided technique. The …

The use of real time ultrasound in the neurosurgical operating room can enhance the ability
to localize intracerebral masses, allow accurate needle biopsies, diminish the amount of …

Percutaneous ultrasound-guided aspiration and biopsy procedures have become routine in
small animals because precise needle placement is possible with continuous real-time …

Intraoperative ultrasonography can play a particularly useful role in facilitating surgery or
guiding biopsies in the brain and spinal canal. Given the limited access that is frequently …

All ultrasound (US) guided needle biopsies of brain tumors performed during an 8-year
period were reviewed. Tissue samples were obtained in 112 of 115 biopsy procedures, and …

Although percutaneous ultrasound-guided technique is currently a common practice, the
use of ultrasound for the purpose of guidance during surgery has not been widely practiced …

The intraoperative shift of neuroanatomical landmarks that serve as reference points is an
unsolved problem in current neuronavigation. Monitoring the position of these landmarks …

Intra-axial tumors can be localized by intraoperative real-time ultrasound, stereotactic
computed tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In the former …
