New Techniques in Neurosurgery


27760An MRI in the OR? It just might be the wave of the future.

Imaging technology has made its way into the the operating room – giving neurosurgeons new insights and better options for patients. Brain tumors hiding beneath the opaqueness of the skull can now be seen in real time allowing the surgeon to not only design more direct pathways for treatment but also remove more of the tumor while protecting the delicate anatomy surrounding it.

A pioneer of this revolutionary technique, Dr. Clark Chen, joins our host Dr. David Grant to discuss how these new techniques not only benefit the surgeon but are creating better outcomes for the patient.
