Abstract
Real-time intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) provides a tremendous benefit to patients undergoing brain tumour surgery. This paper will discuss the Winnipeg Health Sciences Centre's experience implementing a new iMRI program in a new neurosurgery operating room suite. It will review MRI technology and discuss related safety considerations for patients and personnel.
