Abstract:
In recent years, application of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in intracranial surgery has been increasing. In brain tumor surgery, CEUS is used to estimate the location of lesions and maximal extents of resection. In intracranial arteriovenous malformations surgery, CEUS evaluates the abnormal blood vessels and flow rate and changes of cerebral blood perfusion before and after cerebral revascularization. In traumatic brain surgery, CEUS is helpful in identifying functional brain tissues from necrotic brain tissues and detecting the hematoma scopes. In this paper, principle of CEUS in monitoring cerebral blood flow and its clinical application in intracranial surgery are reviewed, in order to promote the application of CEUS noninvasively in intracranial surgery and benefit patients.
