Objective of the study is to determine possibilities of intraoperative sonography in detecting of various brain mass lesions, assessing extent of their resection and define indications to use ultrasound-guided needle or ultrasound wire-guided port.
Intraoperative sonography is usially used in neurooncology to detect brain tumors and exclude their remnants. A few studies describe it's usage while removing hematomas or vascular malformations. Ultrasound is the only method allowing to observe brain tissue in real time. It is chip and doesn't violate surgical workflow. Main disadvantages of sonography are lengthy learning curve and poorer image quality compared to magnetic resonance imaging. Novel acoustic coupling fluid, contrast-enhanced ultrasound and elastography expanded it's effectiveness. Meanwhile problems of locating of isoechogenic lesions with poor margins and elimination of artefacts are steel actual. Objective of the study is to determine possibilities of intraoperative sonography in detecting of various brain mass lesions, assessing extent of their resection and define indications to use ultrasound-guided needle or ultrasound wire-guided port. A surgeon will intraoperatively locate mass lesion and assess extent of it's resection with sonography. Ultrasound scanning will be performed through the same surgical approach or at a distance through enlarged craniotomy, periodically or permanently. To facilitate approach to subcortical and deep small mass lesions ultrasound-guided needle or ultrasound wire-guided port will be used.

RECRUITINGUltrasound features of various brain mass lesions in Mair scale (in grades)
Assessment of target visibility, echogenicity, homogeneity and border demarcation in sonography and their comparison to preoperative computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging
Time frame: Intraoperatively
Sensitivity of intraoperative sonography to detect mass lesion compared to preoperative magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography (in percents)
Sensitivity = true detection of mass lesion / (true detection of mass lesion + inability to detect mass lesion) x 100
Time frame: Intraoperatively
Sensitivity of intraoperative sonography to detect residual mass lesion compared to postoperative magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography (in percents)
Sensitivity = true detection of residual mass lesion / (true detection of residual mass lesion + inability to detect residual mass lesion) x 100
Time frame: Within 48 hours after surgery
Specificity of intraoperative sonography to detect residual mass lesions compared to postoperative magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography (in percents)
Specificity = true absence of residual mass lesion / (true absence of residual mass lesion + false detection of residual mass lesion) x 100
Time frame: Within 48 hours after surgery
Positive predictive value of intraoperative sonography to detect residual mass lesions compared to postoperative magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography (in percents)
Positive predictive value = true detection of residual mass lesion / (true detection of residual mass lesion + false detection of residual mass lesion) x 100

Negative predictive value of intraoperative sonography to detect residual mass lesions compared to postoperative magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography (in percents)
Negative predictive value = true absence of residual mass lesion / (true absence of residual mass lesion + inability to detect residual mass lesion) x 100
Time frame: Within 48 hours after surgery
Accuracy of intraoperative sonography to detect residual mass lesions compared to postoperative magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography (in percents)
