“…Therefore, delineation of tumor margins is imperative for the survival of patients. In standard surgery performed under white light, only 13-20% of glioma resections successfully remove the entire tumor [2]. This rate illustrates that neurosurgeons frequently have difficulty discerning between healthy and malignant tissue during surgery.…”

“…One way to counteract brain shift is through intraoperative imaging, especially by utilizing MRI and ultrasound images. Unfortunately, MRI is expensive and time consuming relative to the surgery [2][3]. Utilizing ultrasound imaging during surgery is cheaper, but one must be exceptionally skilled in ultrasound technique to obtain robust images during surgery, and the instruments can interfere greatly with surgery [3].…”
