High-Field Strength Interventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Pediatric Neurosurgery

Abstract

1.5-Tesla interventional MR is a safe and effective technology for assisting neurosurgeons to achieve the goals of pediatric neurosurgery. Preliminary results suggest that surgical resection of histologically benign tumors is enhanced in the interventional MR unit. The incidence of surgically related morbidity is low.
