Intraoperative MRI (ioMRI) provides real-time imaging during neurosurgery, overcoming limitations of pre-operative scans. This enhances surgical precision and patient safety by visualizing brain shift and critical structures.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Neuronavigation systems rely on pre-operative scans, failing to account for intraoperative brain shift.
  • This limitation can compromise surgical accuracy and safety in neurosurgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the development and advantages of intraoperative MRI (ioMRI) in neurosurgery.
  • To highlight the capabilities of ioMRI in improving surgical outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Discussion of intraoperative MRI (ioMRI) systems and their technological advancements.
  • Review of various advanced MRI techniques available with ioMRI.

Main Results:

  • ioMRI offers superior soft tissue discrimination and 3D visualization, enabling safer surgical trajectories.

  • Advanced imaging like MR angiography (MRA) and MR spectroscopy (MRS) enhance diagnostic yield and surgical planning.

    • Conclusions:

    • ioMRI significantly improves neurosurgical procedures by addressing brain shift and providing detailed intraoperative anatomical and functional information.
    • Further research is ongoing to determine the optimal magnetic field strength for MR-guided neurosurgery.
