Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are the most popular diagnostic tools to visualize intracranial pathology and help surgical planning in the neurosurgical practice. However, these preoperative techniques need to be supplemented with intraoperative methods, if the lesion size may increase or preoperative anatomy may change after the primary imaging due to rapid progression of the underlying intracranial disease. In such situations intraoperative ultrasound could be a valuable technique in real-time imaging of intracranial pathologic processes, real-time control of surgical procedure, assistance in drain or catheter placement, and real-time assessment of residual tumor or hematoma volume during neurosurgical interventions.
计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像是最常用于颅内病变可视化和帮助神经外科手术规划的诊断工具。然而，如果病变大小可能因颅内疾病的快速进展而增加，或者原发性影像学检查后术前解剖结构可能发生变化，则需要在术前技术的基础上补充术中方法。在这种情况下，术中超声可以作为一种实时颅内病理过程成像的有价值的技术，实时控制手术过程，协助引流或导管放置，并在神经外科手术干预过程中实时评估残余肿瘤或血肿量。
