Intraoperative MRI-Guided NeurosurgeryEnhancing precision at every stage—before, during, and after surgery
The integration of intraoperative MRI (ioMRI) in neurosurgery has transformed preoperative planning, real-time intraoperative decision-making, and postoperative assessment. This advancement is particularly critical in fields demanding exceptional precision, such as neurosurgical oncology and functional neurosurgery, where surgical accuracy directly impacts patient outcomes.
By incorporating high-resolution imaging into the operating room, ioMRI allows neurosurgeons to visualize critical anatomical structures and assess surgical progress in real time.
