Sonography was used to detect and localize intracranial lesions intraoperatively in 16 patients and to examine 31 patients (47 exams) postoperatively for a variety of clinical problems. Current sonographic technology was effective for localizing and differentiating cystic and solid intracranial pathology and for determining the size and boundaries of the intracranial lesions and their distance from the cortical surface. It was used occasionally as an aid for circumventing intracranial vessels during tissue dissection and, when used, determined the completeness of tumor dissection. Sonography also proved to be a reliable postoperative tool when surgically created cranial windows were present, but the location and size of the surgical window were critical to the quality of the images obtained. Both applications of this technique complement computed tomography and therefore can serve as a valuable adjunct in the treatment and follow-up of the neurosurgical patient.
超声检查用于术中检测并定位16例患者的颅内病变，以及术后检查31例患者（共47次检查）以排查各种临床问题。当前的超声技术在定位和区分颅内囊性和实性病变、确定颅内病变的大小和边界及其与皮质表面的距离方面很有效。在组织解剖过程中，它偶尔被用作避开颅内血管的辅助手段，使用时可确定肿瘤切除的完整性。当存在手术创建的颅骨窗时，超声检查也被证明是一种可靠的术后工具，但手术窗的位置和大小对所获得图像的质量至关重要。该技术的这两种应用都对计算机断层扫描起到补充作用，因此可作为神经外科患者治疗和随访中的一种有价值的辅助手段。
