Evolution and Clinical Relevance of a Dedicated Head Holder & Coil Solution for Intraoperative MRI-guided Neurosurgery

NORAS x MAGNETOM Flash

Enhanced neurosurgical precision thanks to ioMRI: Intraoperative MRI (ioMRI) has fundamentally changed neurosurgery since its first groundbreaking use in the early 1990s, becoming an indispensable tool for interventions like brain tumor resection and deep brain stimulation. Highly detailed, real-time MR images of the brain enable surgeons to precisely localize critical structures and differentiate healthy tissue from pathological areas.

Our article explores the development of dedicated head holder and coil solutions that are essential for the success of ioMRI. Also, it shows their clinical relevance presenting a case report of a XNUMX-year-old boy with a posterior fossa tumor by Karl Roessler, M.D. (Medizinische Universität Wien)
