Title
Sonolucent Cranioplasty for Transcranial Ultrasonographic Imaging
Link
Description
Cranial neurosurgery involves removing a portion of skull to access intracranial structures. The native bone is replaced or synthetic reconstruction materials are used. Postoperative monitoring relies on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which impose a burden of cost and coordination. Ultrasonography (US) is a lower-cost, point-of-care alternative but is limited by poor penetration through bone and traditional reconstruction materials. Recently, reconstruction materials have been introduced that allow US penetration, termed sonolucent. This opens a window of opportunity for using US to monitor intracranial anatomy postoperatively.
