Magnetic Resonance Image-Guided Neurosurgery

摘要: Introduced for use in diagnosis the mid-1980s, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has evolved into leading modality neurosurgery treatment. The first iMRI system was an open access MRI scanner (SIGNA SP, General Electric Medical System, Milwaukee, WI) codeveloped by GE and investigators of Brigham Women’s Hospital at Harvard School that incorporated several concepts objectives intraoperative guidance have since been widely adopted. With development higher-field magnets, we are able to achieve excellent image quality spatial resolution depict most exquisite details brain’s anatomy so when is used intraoperatively, it can provide clinicians with much information including understanding brain shift deformations even data on tissue temperature. Indeed, new MR sequence parameters allow what modern requires both morphology function during surgery. Importantly, iMRI, though entails a longer neurosurgical procedure time, offers lower percentage total complications compared not employed. Through capabilities technology, IMRI enables will continue enable therapeutic methods like MRI-guided thermal ablations image-guided robotic tools. clinical introduction these advances, rapidly changing practice as seen, part, fact that, today, more than 100 systems worldwide.
