Figure 3

Right-sided insular grade II astrocytoma (Left column) preoperative navigation 3D FLAIR MRI sequence (Middle column) pre-resectional 3D IOUS image fused with navigation FLAIR MRI sequence. Yellow arrows = lenticulostriate arteries visualized by 3D IOUS power-Doppler mode (Right column) 3D IOUS image acquired shortly before the end of resection. Note the close proximity of resection cavity bottom to the lenticulostriate arteries (arrows), intraoperative visualization of perforating arteries helped to prevent iatrogenic injury to them. 3D, three-dimensional; FLAIR, fluid attenuated inversion recovery; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; IOUS, intraoperative ultrasound.
