Visualizing spinal tumors: a review of intraoperative contrast enhanced ultrasound during spinal tumor resections

Current literature suggests that CEUS has the capability to provide real-time data for the visualization of tumor margins and perfusion patterns of spinal cord tumors. However, with only case reports and case series currently published, there is a need for future investigation into the clinical potentials of CEUS as an adjunct tool for guiding spinal cord tumor resections.
