Intraoperative low-field magnetic resonance imaging-guided tumor resection in glioma surgery: Pros and cons

CONCLUSIONSLow-field intraoperative MRI improves the GTR rate and reduces unintentional reoperation incidence compared to the conventional technique. Our findings showed no operating time prolongation in the MRI group despite intraoperative imaging, which considered that intraoperative MRI helped reduce decision-making time and procedural hesitation during surgery.PMID:34526467 | DOI:10.1272/jnms.JNMS.2022_89-301
