    Neuronavigation accuracy is compromised by brainshift, which alters the spatial relationship between virtual images and actual anatomy during surgery.

  • 2

    Intraoperative ultrasound (iUS) offers a cost-effective method for assessing brainshift and improving surgical decision-making in glioma surgeries.

  • 3

    Rigid image fusion (RIF) of iUS with preoperative MRI allows for real-time brainshift correction, enhancing the precision of tumor resection.

  • 4

    Navigated iUS can be repeatedly utilized throughout surgery to monitor and correct brainshift, ensuring better alignment with critical structures.

  • 5

    The integration of iUS in glioma surgery facilitates accurate tumor localization and preservation of vital neural pathways, improving patient outcomes.
