Key terms

  • Brain shift

    Brain shift is the movement and deformation of the brain during surgery, from CSF loss, gravity, swelling and tumor removal. It makes preoperative neuronavigation progressively less accurate.

  • Intraoperative ultrasound (iUS)

    Intraoperative ultrasound images the brain in real time during surgery. It is fast and inexpensive, and paired before-and-after sweeps can measure and correct brain shift.
