The course is intended for the neurosurgeons that would like to gain more knowledge in the practical use of ultrasound in neurosurgery. The course has an emphasis on intraoperative ultrasound, but will also present examples on the use of intraoperative MRI from one of the leading centres in the world, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, USA.



The course aim to provide an introduction to the intraoperative use of ultrasound in neurosurgery. This includes learning how to interpret ultrasound images of the brain, how to use ultrasound imaging in combination with navigation technology, and learning from clinical examples how intraoperative imaging by ultrasound and MRI is used in neurosurgery.



The clinical lectures will show examples on how intraoperative imaging is used in resection of low-grade gliomas, the use of ultrasound in awake surgery, and the use of contrast enhanced ultrasound for imaging of brain tumours.
