Intraoperative 3T MR imaging for spinal cord tumor resection: feasibility, timing, and image quality using a "twin" MR-operating room suite.
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.
