Abstract

Although advanced preoperative imaging has been developed recent years, intraoperative imaging and monitoring are limited. We have developed an operating system to obtain objective and visible information for advanced neurosurgery. Intraoperative MRI and updated navigation are powerful tools to navigate surgeons to the residual lesions. This system has contributed to the improvement of the resection rate and the safety in the cases of gliomas and pituitary tumors.
