Intraoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scanner (IMRIS) at Indiana University Health

An intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging scanner (IMRIS) uses the same magnetic and radio waves to create digital images of the body as a traditional MRI. But the IMRIS is a revolutionary technology that provides real-time images during surgery. This means neurosurgeons can take detailed images while in the operating room, allowing them to safely remove more of a tumor and reduce the need for a follow-up surgery.
