The value of real-time ultrasonography as a means of guidance during neurosurgical operations was assessed in a prospective study comprising 89 cases. There were 75 cranial and 14 spinal cases. After every such operation involving the ultrasonographic guidance, the operating surgeon subjectively assessed its usefulness vis-a-vis the information and/or help provided by it, on a scale ranging from 0 (no use) to 3 (invaluable). The intraoperative ultrasonographic guidance has been found to be extremely helpful in quickly and easily locating a small, deep-seated supratentorial lesion as also in certain spinal cases. In the absence of the much costlier CT/MRI-guidance system, intraoperative use of ultrasonography offers the desired help in majority of neurosurgical cases requiring intraoperative guidance. Additionally, it has got certain distinct advantages over the CT/MRI-guidance system.
在一项包含89例病例的前瞻性研究中，对实时超声检查作为神经外科手术引导手段的价值进行了评估。其中有75例颅脑病例和14例脊柱病例。在每一次涉及超声引导的此类手术后，主刀医生根据其提供的信息和/或帮助，主观评估其有用性，评分范围为0（无用）至3（极有价值）。已发现术中超声引导在快速、轻松地定位幕上小而深部的病变以及某些脊柱病例中非常有帮助。在没有成本高得多的CT/MRI引导系统的情况下，术中使用超声检查在大多数需要术中引导的神经外科病例中提供了所需的帮助。此外，与CT/MRI引导系统相比，它具有某些明显的优势。
