Intraoperative MRI with 1.5 Tesla in neurosurgery

Neurosurg Clin N Am. 2009 Apr;20(2):163-71. doi: 10.1016/j.nec.2009.04.008.

Abstract

1.5 Tesla High-field MRI has been successfully integrated into operating theatres. State-of-the-art microneurosurgical equipment and computer-assisted navigation are merged with the MR to form a comprehensive unit. The set-up of an intraoperative MRI solution is delineated with special regards to the workflow.
