Abstract: | Intraoperative imaging, in particular intraoperative MRI, is a developing area in neurosurgery and its role is currently being evaluated. Its role in epilepsy surgery has not been defined yet and its use has been limited. In our experience with a compact and mobile low-field intraoperative MRI system, a few epilepsy surgeries have been performed using this technique. As the integration of imaging and functional data plays an important role in the planning of epilepsy surgery, intraoperative verification of the surgical result may be highly valuable. Therefore, teams that have access to intraoperative MRI should be encouraged to use this technique prospectively to evaluate its current relevance in epilepsy surgery. |
