Development of a Standardized Semantic Feature-Based Reporting Proforma for Intraoperative Ultrasound Findings in Brain Tumors and Application in High-Grade Gliomas – A Preliminary Study

Purpose A semantic feature-based reporting proforma for intraoperative ultrasound findings in brain tumors was devised to standardize reporting. It was applied as a pilot study on a cohort of histologically confirmed high-grade supratentori...

Necrosis was commonly seen and noted as single (67.6%) or multiple (13.2%) in over 80% cases. A separate perilesional zone, which was predominantly hyperechoic in 41.8% and both hypo and hyperechoic in 12.7%, could be identified in 54.5% of cases. Grade 4 tumors were more likely to have an irregular crenated margin (71.2%) with a single large area of necrosis, while Grade 3 tumors were likely to have smooth (31.3%) or non-characterizable margins (31.2%) with no or multiple areas of necrosis. IDH-negative tumors were more likely to have a single large focus of necrosis.
