Journal ArticleDOI
Intraoperative contrast-enhanced ultrasound for brain tumor surgery
Francesco Prada,Alessandro Perin,Alberto Martegani,Luca Aiani,Luigi Solbiati,Massimo Lamperti,Cecilia Casali,Federico G. Legnani,Luca Mattei,Andrea Saladino,Marco Saini,Francesco DiMeco +11 more
TL;DR: This study is the first large-scale implementation of i CEUS in neurosurgery as a dynamic and continuous real-time imaging tool for brain surgery and provides the first iCEUS characterization of different brain neoplasms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of residual tumor with intraoperative contrast-enhanced ultrasound during glioblastoma resection.
Francesco Prada,Massimiliano Del Bene,Riccardo Fornaro,Ignazio G. Vetrano,Alberto Martegani,Luca Aiani,Luca Maria Sconfienza,Giovanni Mauri,Luigi Solbiati,Bianca Pollo,Francesco DiMeco +10 more
TL;DR: The ability of CEUS to distinguish between tumor and artifacts or normal brain on B-mode is based on its capacity to show the vascularization degree and not the echogenicity of the tissues, therefore CEUS can play a decisive role in the process of maximizing GBM resection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preoperative magnetic resonance and intraoperative ultrasound fusion imaging for real-time neuronavigation in brain tumor surgery.
Francesco Prada,M R Del Bene,Luca Mattei,L. Lodigiani,S. DeBeni,Velizar Kolev,Ignazio G. Vetrano,Luigi Solbiati,Georgios Sakas,Francesco DiMeco +9 more
TL;DR: Neuro-navigation using intraoperative US integrated with preoperative MRI is reliable, accurate and user-friendly and is less expensive and time-consuming than other intraoperative imaging techniques, offering high precision and orientation.
