Original title: Intraoperative Ultrasound for Brain Tumor Surgery Enhanced by AI
How far along is this research?
This is a trial that is enrolling or has been updated. It is not a finding yet.
This is a late-stage study, but the tool is still being tested and is not part of regular care yet.
Status: Not yet recruiting. It has not opened yet. Ask your care team to watch for it if it looks like a fit.

The short version
This study tests a computer program that marks tumor tissue on ultrasound pictures while surgeons operate.
Who this trial is for. This trial is for people having surgery to remove a brain tumor. It tests a new computer program that outlines the tumor on ultrasound pictures taken during the operation.
Where it stands. The trial is checking whether the program helps surgeons find tumor tissue during surgery. It is being done at more than one hospital. There are no results yet.
What this means, and what it doesn't
What it could mean: Ultrasound during surgery is a low-cost tool, but its pictures can be hard to read. The goal is to help surgeons see the tumor more clearly. The team hopes this could make surgery safer and remove more of the tumor. If you are planning brain tumor surgery, you could ask your care team about this study.
What it doesn't mean: This is a test of an early version of the tool. It is not proven to help yet. Being in the trial does not promise you will benefit. It is not a cure for brain tumors. The trial team decides who can join.
