Hitachi Aloka Medical Improves Real-Time Intraoperative Visualization with New Ultrasound Probe

Surgical ultrasound leader Hitachi Aloka Medical America, Inc. has created a new ultrasound probe specifically for subcortical brain surgery to provide neurosurgeons with real-time, intraoperative imaging feedback. The probe is FDA cleared and was specifically designed for use with the NICO BrainPath® as a means to assist with sulcal identification through the dura, greater extent of resection during the tumor removal procedure, and locating a tumor that has rolled during resection. Dr. Juan Alzate, neurosurgeon with The American Center for Spine and Neurosurgery and Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Chicago, says the combination of the technologies are useful to assist surgeons in precisely and efficiently locating tumors beyond their direct vision in the surgical field.
