Ultrasound imaging is one of the most available perioperative imaging methods. Ultrasound imaging is based on registering of echo
signals reflected by tissue. The basic modality of examination is two-dimensional (2D) imaging in various modes. In neurosurgery, the
2D imaging is succesfully used for intraoperative imaging. Nowadays, the use of ultrasound 3D imaging is spreading in neurological and
neurosurgical practice. The three-dimensional imaging alike CT or MRI facititates delineation of pathological lesions. An improvement
of perioperative imaging during neurosurgical procedures is expected. First experiences in 3D ultrasound imaging of the glioblastoma
resection are presented in this short statement.
