With an open configuration
MRI system neurosurgical procedures can be performed using
image guidance.
Open MRI can be used to guide interventional treatments or procedures, such as a biopsy.
Intraoperative
MRI allows lesions to be precisely localized and targeted.
Constantly updated
images, correlated with
images obtained pre-operatively, help to eliminate errors that can arise during framed and frameless stereotactic surgery when anatomic structures alter their position due to shifting or displacement of, e.g.
brain parenchyma.
Intraoperative
MRI can help with the identification of normal structures, such as blood vessels and is helpful in optimizing surgical approaches, achieving complete resection of in
tracerebral lesions, determining tumor margins and monitoring potential intraoperative complications.
