Abstract
For positioning intracranial tumors as intraoperative operation supporting system, neuronavigation and ultrasonography are the most common useful systems at present. Power Doppler ultrasonography real-timely shows vasculature in intracranial tumors, while neuronavigation system does not real-timely show intracranial structures due to the base on the preoperative image and is usually affected by brain shift. The information of the preoperative MRI can be compensated by real-time untrasonography. Power Doppler sonography detects vasculature of tumor with 3 dimensional image. Ultrasonographical contrast-enhancing agent enhances vasculature of the tumor, particularly vascular enriched tumors such as hemangioblastoma, glioblastoma, and metastatic tumors, and angioblastic meningioma. In these intracranial tumors, the echo signals obtained using contrast-enhanced power Doppler ultrasonography correlated with digital subtraction angiographic staining. Power Doppler untrasonography with the appropriate contrast agent provided better data on the precise real-time position of the tumors and their relationship to adjacent vessels than ultrasonograms obtained before the injection of the contrast agent. In addition, combination with neuronavigation system and power Doppler ultrasonography with 3 dimensional image contributes to intracranial tumor surgery.
