Article Synopsis
- A new ultrasonic device was developed to improve measurement accuracy during neurosurgery, particularly for tumor removal, by eliminating the need for saline application and reducing subjectivity.
- The study involved comparing two types of ultrasound devices through both ex vivo experiments and human surgeries, demonstrating high correlation in measuring tumor depth and tissue thickness.
- Results showed that the new device offers objective, real-time monitoring capabilities, enhancing surgical precision in challenging conditions and proving to be more reliable than the conventional ultrasonic imaging systems.
The rationale for this project is to evaluate the efficiency of a novel sonographic method for measurements of interosseous distances. The method utilizes a propagating ultrasonic beam through aqueous milieu which is directed as a jet into a drilled tract. We used a plastic model of human L5 vertebra and ex vivo specimen of L5 porcine vertebra and generated 2 mm in diameter tracts in vertebral pedicles.
