  • Title: Optimizing brain tumor resection. Low-field interventional MR imaging.
    Author: Metzger AK, Lewin JS.
    Journal: Neuroimaging Clin N Am; 2001 Nov; 11(4):651-7, ix. PubMed ID: 11995420.
    Abstract:
    In this article, the authors describe their strategy for intraoperative MR image guidance of tumor resection at low-field (0.2 T) strength. It is their opinion that intraoperative imaging is most useful in assessing the resection of intrinsic, infiltrating brain tumors; boundaries of the tumor cannot be clearly distinguished with the surgeon's eyes, and therefore, this discussion predominantly applies to the surgical resection of gliomas.
