One of Clinical Center, Department of Perioperative Medicine’s operating suites incorporates a 1.5 T MRI.  This MRI offers the opportunity for ‘real-time’ imaging during neurosurgical procedures. The device is currently being used for a variety of procedures, including the evaluation of convection-enhanced delivery of chemotherapeutics to more accurately follow the volume of distribution of the cytotoxic agents.
