Official title
Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of Intraoperative MRI in the Surgery of Brain Metastases.
Overview
The study aims to improve the surgical treatment of brain metastases through the use of advanced imaging techniques. The investigators are examining how intraoperative MRI (iMRI) can aid surgeons in precisely locating and removing tumors, with the potential to enhance surgical outcomes and reduce the need for additional procedures. While iMRI offers the promise of better tumor visualization during surgery, it is also associated with longer surgical times and may carry the risk of increased complications. This study seeks to carefully evaluate these aspects to determine the overall benefits and challenges of iMRI in brain metastasis surgeries. The ultimate aim is to enhance treatment effectiveness and improve recovery and health outcomes for participants dealing with brain metastases.
Interventions
- Procedure Surgery with intraoperative MRI
In this clinical study, we have the unique opportunity to utilize a 3 Tesla MRI intraoperatively during the surgical resection of brain metastases. This approach is distinctly different from standard procedures and offers several advantages. The use of a 3 Tesla MRI provides high-resolution imaging during surgery, offering unparalleled detail of brain structures and tumor boundaries. This level of imaging precision is typically not available in standard surgical procedures. Through real-time vis
