Intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging at 0.12 T: is it enough?

Michael Schulder et al. Neurosurg Clin N Am. 2005 Jan.

Abstract

Low magnetic field strength MRI provides the anatomic information needed for intracranial procedures in which intraoperative imaging is needed. Stereotactic accuracy is proven. The distinct advantage of this technologic approach is that it allows the neurosurgical team to operate an iMRI system with minimal disruption to the OR routine. Technical improvements are likely to increase the power and versatility of low field strength iMRI. Logic dictates that ergonomics and economics will make this the iMRI technique desired by most neurosurgeons.
