Various methods of intraoperative structural monitoring during neurosurgery are used to localize lesions after brain shift and to guide surgically introduced probes such as biopsy needles or stimulation electrodes. With its high temporal resolution, portability, and nonionizing mode of radiation, ultrasound has potential advantages over other existing imaging modalities for intraoperative monitoring, yet ultrasound is rarely used during neurosurgery largely because of the craniotomy requirement to achieve sufficiently useful signals.
