Popis: Effective intraoperative image navigation techniques are necessary in modern neurosurgery. In the last decade, intraoperative ultrasonography (iUS), a relatively inexpensive procedure, has gained widespread acceptance.AimTo document and describe the neurosurgery cases, in which iUS has been employed as the primary navigational tool. This includes a discussion of the advantages that iUS may possess relative to other forms of neuronavigation.ConclusionThe application of iUS as an intraoperative navigation tool during neurosurgery holds great potential as it has been shown, relative to other neuronavigation techniques, to be quick, repeatable, and able to provide real-time results.
