The efficacy of intraoperative neurosurgical ultrasound (US) scanning was determined in studies of 191 lesions (186 patients). US was deemed to have played a useful role in operations on 101 (53%) of these lesions, including 66 (49%) of the 136 brain tumors. The main utility of US imaging was in locating subcortical masses, but it also proved useful in identifying residual tumor after resection; locating cysts within tumors; delineating surrounding vascular structures; and locating subcortical cysts, hematomas, arteriovenous malformations, and inflammatory masses or abscesses. In light of these findings, US study appears to have a place in many intracranial operations.
在针对191个病灶（186例患者）的研究中，确定了术中神经外科超声（US）扫描的疗效。超声被认为在其中101个（53%）病灶的手术中发挥了有益作用，包括136个脑肿瘤中的66个（49%）。超声成像的主要用途是定位皮质下肿块，但它在识别切除术后的残留肿瘤、定位肿瘤内的囊肿、描绘周围血管结构以及定位皮质下囊肿、血肿、动静脉畸形和炎性肿块或脓肿方面也被证明是有用的。鉴于这些发现，超声检查似乎在许多颅内手术中占有一席之地。
