This study introduces a modified intraoperative MRI device for real-time functional MRI (fMRI) in the surgical suite. This innovation enables noninvasive, intraoperative brain mapping, overcoming limitations of preoperative fMRI.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Functional MRI (fMRI) is used for noninvasive identification of eloquent cortex to guide surgical interventions.
  • Preoperative fMRI data acquisition does not account for intraoperative tissue shifts, potentially impacting surgical precision.
  • Existing intraoperative MRI devices may require invasive cortical mapping, potentially exceeding surgical intervention invasiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a noninvasive, real-time functional magnetic resonance (fMR) examination method for the surgical suite.
  • To address the limitations of preoperative fMRI regarding tissue movement during surgery.
  • To overcome the invasiveness associated with traditional intraoperative cortical mapping techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Modification of an existing intraoperative MRI device.
  • Implementation of a real-time functional magnetic resonance (fMR) examination protocol.
  • Noninvasive brain mapping within the surgical suite environment.

    • Main Results:

    • Demonstration of a modified intraoperative MRI device capable of real-time functional MR examinations.
    • Facilitation of noninvasive, intraoperative brain mapping.
    • Potential to reduce the extent of cortical exposure during neurosurgical interventions.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified intraoperative MRI device enables real-time, noninvasive functional brain mapping during surgery.
    • This approach offers an advancement over preoperative fMRI by accounting for intraoperative conditions.
    • The technique enhances surgical planning and execution by providing immediate functional information in the surgical suite.
