Using 3D ultrasound to improve brain tumor surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of 3D ultrasound technology in enhancing the surgical resection of brain tumors. It aims to determine how the use of this imaging technique impacts the extent of tumor removal, as well as secondary outcomes such as neurological results, accuracy, and image quality. Participants will undergo surgery with the assistance of 3D ultrasound, while a control group will consist of patients from a retrospective matched pair cohort. The study focuses on patients with suspected intra-axial lesions, including metastasis or glioma.
