Craneotomía guiada por ultrasonografía bidimensional para exéresis de tumor cerebral supratentorial

Real-time 2-D ultrasonography affords an adequate image quality for performing guided-craniotomy in supratentorial brain tumours, as it allows for a safe and accurate localization of the lesions. Its use is mainly indicated in the removal of tumours located in, or close to, important anatomical and functional brain areas and to depict the presence of tumour rests after surgical removal of cerebral neoplasms.
