Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Comparison of intraoperative, 3D reconstructed and contrast enhanced, transdural ultrasound with the preoperative 3D- MRi as Gold Standard. Comparison of intraoperative, 3D reconstructed and contrast enhanced ultrasound after tumor resection to verify the extent of resection as well as accuracy of navigation with the early post operative3D- MRi as Gold Standard ;Secondary Objective: 1) Can the use of SonoVue® improve imaging in 3D ultrasound of brain tumors? Are there differences in the quality of imaging in pre- and postoperative ultrasound? 2) Could the 3D reconstructed and contrast enhanced ultrasound figure the intraoperative brainshift correlate to anatomical structures? 3) How does the 3D reconstructed and contrast enhanced ultrasound with SonoVuo® figures the tumor in different tumor entities? ;Primary end point(s): Comparison of intraoperative, 3D reconstructed and contrast enhanced, transdural ultrasound in brain tumor operation to verify the accuracy in resection control as well as precision of navigation with the pre and postoperative 3D- MRi as Gold Standard;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: During operation | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): (1) Can the administration of SonoVue® improve the imaging of brain tumors? Are there pre- and postoperative differences in the expected improve of the imaging quality. (2) Can the SonoVue® contrast-enhanced ultrasound image the intraoperative brainshift in the area of the tumor in contrast to adjacent tissue and vessels? (3) How does the outcome of the SonoVue® contrast-enhanced ultrasound differ in dependance to the tumor entity? ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: During operation | — |
