Endo-Neuro-Sonography: Basics and Current Use

  • Conference paper
Minimally Invasive Techniques for Neurosurgery

Summary

In order to evaluate the usefulness of transendoscopic sonography, we studied two new sonographic probes of 6-F diameter in 15 fresh specimens. We saw precise imaging of well-known anatomical structures and an additional dimension in endoscopy, as the sonograph adds to the endoscopic view a transversal scan like, as if it were a mini CT at the tip of the probe. Thus, we also experienced the navigation characteristics of this imaging technique, both in real time and on-line. Some three-dimensional reconstructions of the foramen of Monro region are examined. First clinical use has been carried out, and adaptation of the equipment to neurosurgery is necessary.
