| Abstract: | Intraoperative ultrasonography was conducted in 20 patients; the technique of intraoperative ultrasonography for use in spinal surgery is described. The authors emphasize that this non-invasive method obtains real time images of considerable diagnostic importance, allowing for a significantly minor use of image intensifier, with a consequent reduction in doses for both the patient and the staff. |
