Ultrasound test during brain tumor surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study checks whether a special, painless ultrasound technique can help measure a brain tumor during planned brain surgery. It may help doctors understand tumor location and behavior more accurately while you’re already in the operating room.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old and able to consent (understand and agree to the study).
- Your brain surgery is already planned, and you can come to the hospital for it.
- You will be under general anesthesia (asleep during surgery).
- Your surgery plan includes neuronavigation (a guidance system used during brain procedures).
- Your imaging scans after contrast (thin, detailed CT or MRI slices) are available for matching the ultrasound to your tumor.
- You have no plan for an awake brain surgery.

This study looks at using focused ultrasound to temporarily loosen the brain’s “blood barrier” around certain brain tumors, while people still get standard surgery. It aims to help doctors learn how safe the approach is and collect blood/fluid samples during the operation.
This study tests whether a focused ultrasound treatment is safe for children and young adults who have a non-cancerous (benign) tumor in the center of the brain. It mainly checks safety, and it also includes monitoring before and during treatment to reduce risks like bleeding or imaging-related problems.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to measure how stiff brain tumors are during surgery. The goal is to see if tumor stiffness can help surgeons better identify and remove tumors.
This study tests the safety of a brain stimulation approach that uses special brain recording and “focused ultrasound” targeted by brain signals. It is designed for healthy adults and checks whether the procedure is tolerated without serious side effects.
This study uses a special kind of ultrasound and MRI scans to check safety and see how the brain responds. It may help researchers understand the possible mechanism of this treatment, but it is designed for people who are healthy and can complete the full visit schedule.
This trial uses artificial intelligence to improve ultrasound images taken during brain tumor surgery. It aims to help surgeons see the tumor more clearly and remove it more safely.
