Preferred Label : Acoustic Coupling Fluid;
NCIt synonyms : Acoustic Fluid; Brain Mimicking Fluid; BMF;
NCIt definition : A brain mimicking fluid with an attenuation coefficient similar to that found in the
adult human brain, which can potentially improve the quality of an image acquired
during intraoperative ultrasonography. Upon administration into the resection cavity
during surgical removal of a brain tumor, the acoustic coupling fluid may both increase
the quality of the ultrasound image and improve the visualization of the tumor. This
may facilitate the surgical removal of residual tumor while sparing normal, healthy
brain tissue.;
