Figure 1

Ultrasound imaging during glioma resection. Screen dump from the ultrasound based neuronavigation system (SonoWand®). Images to the left are preoperative MRI demonstrating a hyperintense region suspect of diffuse glioma (above; sagittal view, below; coronal view). Images in the middle represent the corresponding ultrasound images taken intraoperatively before resection. Pictures to the right demonstrate corresponding ultrasound images approximately midway in the resection. Notice the bright-rim in the bottom of the cavity, representing an artifact, making the interpretation of hyperintense areas that could represent tumor on the images somewhat more difficult.
