A new frontier: magnetic resonance imaging-operating room
Abstract
Developments in technology have led to the merger of two distinct environments, that of magnetic resonance imaging and that of the operating room. The major advantage of this merger for neurosurgical procedures is the ability to perform real-time imaging to help guide surgery. This review discusses the role of the anesthesiologist in the planning and administration of safe anesthesia in this new and challenging environment.
