Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, US has opened two technically advanced neurosurgery operating room suites to help physicians during brain surgery.
The $16.5m centre combines GE Healthcare’s MR Surgical Suite and BrainLAB’s BrainSUITE iMRI.
The iMRI navigation system provides real-time information on the spatial positioning of surgical instruments and a neuroradiology suite equipped with the high-definition 1.5T magnetic resonance scanner provides intra-operative images of the brain.
This helps physicians to accurately view and operate on brain tumours.
