title: Intraoperative MR Imaging in Neurosurgery.
abstract: Intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) has dramatically expanded and nowadays presents state-of-the-art technique for image-guided neurosurgery, facilitating critical precision and effective surgical treatment of various brain pathologies. Imaging hardware providing basic imaging sequences as well as advanced MRI can be seamlessly integrated into routine surgical environments, which continuously leads to emerging indications for iMRI-assisted surgery. Besides the obvious intraoperative diagnostic yield, the initial clinical benefits have to be confirmed by future-controlled long-term studies.
