Intraoperative 3T MR Imaging for Spinal Cord Tumor Resection: Feasibility, Timing, and Image Quality Using a “Twin” MR–Operating Room Suite

Abstract

SUMMARY: We assessed feasibility, safety, and timing of an original intraoperative MR procedure in 3 cases of resection of spinal cord glioma by using a clinical 3T MR system connected to an adjacent operating room in a design being coined “twin” or “dual” MR–operating room suite.
