Title: Application of interventional ultrasound in neurosurgery
Abstract: Objective To investigate the value of interventional ultrasound in neurosurgery. Methods A total of the brains from 10 healthy half-bred dogs and 15 domesticated cats were performed by biopsy and treated with microwave output power and ablation duration. The 20 Wistar glioma models were treated with microwave ablation, and took contrast-enhanced ultrasonography before and after ablation. The 61 patients with intracranial lesions had ultrasound-guided biopsy or ultrasound-guided needle localization. Results Blood flows in different types of needle biopsy had no significant differences. The ablation brain organization was apart from the antenna, the output power was high, and the saturation temperature was higher. The shapes were circular after the ablation, and ablation diameters were in 0.8-1.2 cm. The subcutaneous gliomas showed hypoechoic zone with blurred boundary. Eighteen cases were enhanced and two cases were non-uniform enhanced before ablation. Seventeen cases had no enhancement and 3 cases had irregular borders after ablation. Intraoperative ultrasound-guided accurately identified 6 cases of brain tumors. Ultrasound-guided puncture and biopsy were helpful to classify diagnosis and reduce the intracranial pressure. Conclusions The interventional ultrasound in neurosurgery as an important supplement for brain surgery may real-time monitor, accurately locate, and effectively treat intracranial lesions.
