Excerpt

Intra-operative MRI (iMRI) promises neurosurgeons a great deal, and far from being a research tool, as it was in the late 1990s, there are now a number of neurosurgical units throughout the world with this facility; more than 12 in Europe alone and many more in North America. It is finding many uses, perhaps most valuably in the resection of intrinsic brain tumours. At the time of commissioning of the iMRI in this author’s unit in 2010, approximately 40% of the use of the machine was expected—like elsewhere in Europe—to be for the resection of pituitary adenomas. …
