title: [Intraoperative ultrasonography of brain tumors].
abstract: The 6-years results are described of intraoperative ultrasonic imaging of the brain tumors and are compared with the results of preoperative computerized tomography. On the basis of 169 cases it was shown that the lesions well visible in preoperative CT (with or without contrast) were also well delineated in USG. In cases of presence in CT with or without contrast of extensive isodense or hypodense area, USG could localize in all patients the tumor with suggestion of its morphology. Intraoperative ultrasonic investigation is a valuable method supplementing preoperative diagnostic procedures, facilitating the localization of isomorphic tumors, reducing brain traumatization and making possible control of radical removal of the lesions.
