New ultrasound technique lets surgeons monitor brain blood flow in real time
Thanks to a new technique, neurosurgeons at UMC Utrecht have been able to watch the blood flow in brain tissue live during surgery for the first time. Together with researchers from Eindhoven University of Technology, they have developed a method that allows them to detect the risk of a stroke during surgery sooner—and potentially prevent it. The technique could also be useful for other types of operations, such as kidney transplants.
