Intraoperative high-field MRI with integrated microscope-based neuronavigation is a safe and reliable technique providing immediate intraoperative quality control. Major indications are pituitary tumor, glioma, and epilepsy surgery. Intraoperative high-field MRI provides intraoperative anatomic images at high quality that are up to the standard of pre- and postoperative neuroradiologic imaging. Compared with previous low-field MRI systems used for intraoperative imaging, not only is the image quality is clearly superior but the imaging spectrum is much wider and the intraoperative work flow is improved. Furthermore, high-field MRI offers various modalities beyond standard anatomic imaging, such as magnetic resonance spectroscopy, diffusion tensor imaging, and functional MRI.
