INTRAOPERATIVE MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING AT 3-T USING A DUAL INDEPENDENT OPERATING ROOM-MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING SUITE

Abstract

The layout of the new complex allows open access to the 3-T iMRI system except when it is in use under surgical conditions. Three patients benefited from the iMRI examination to achieve total resection. No permanent complications were observed. Therefore, the 3-T iMRI is feasible and appears to be a safe tool for intraoperative surgical planning and assessment.
