Abstract

Multiple studies have been conducted to properly elucidate the various tools available to help enhance the resection of tumor tissue, aneurysms, and arteriovenous malformations (AVM). Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography is useful in providing a map of the tumor borders, allowing the optimal preservation of function and structure of specific regions of the brain. During neurosurgery, especially craniotomies, the possibility of the brain shifting due to swelling or gravity is high. Thus, tools for intraoperative imaging such as high-frequency linear array ultrasound transducers and doppler ultrasonography are utilized for high resolution images and detecting frequency shifts. 4D-digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is another technique used to create spatial resolutions and 3D maps for aneurysms. These similar techniques can also be utilized to assess the integrity of white matter in AVM. By implementing effective evaluation strategies, healthcare professionals can make informed decisions regarding treatment options, preventive measures, and long-term care plans tailored to individual patients.
