Intraoperative ultrasound is not a technique which has been widely accepted by neurosurgeons in this country, not least because bulky probes and machines become more of a hindrance than an asset in theatre. The development of new smaller probes, including ones small enough to visualize the brain through a conventional burr-hole has rekindled interest in this subject. Its use for guidance in tumour biopsy, cyst aspiration and catheter placement, as well as volume estimations and determining the completeness of tumour resection, are outlined. The ability to recognize peri-operative haemorrhage is demonstrated.
术中超声在我国并非一项被神经外科医生广泛接受的技术，这主要是因为体积庞大的探头和设备在手术室中更多地成为了一种阻碍而非助力。新型更小探头的研发，包括小到足以通过传统钻孔可视化脑部的探头，重新点燃了人们对这一主题的兴趣。文中概述了其在肿瘤活检、囊肿抽吸及导管置入引导方面的应用，以及体积估计和确定肿瘤切除完整性方面的应用。还展示了识别围手术期出血的能力。
