“I have been using image guidance for spinal surgeries for the last five years. I have found it to be incredibly useful in making my complex spinal operations simpler, more efficient and safer for my patients,” said Dr. Mimran in a Becker’s Spine Review article. “In particular, craniocervical and cervicothoracic junction cases, as well as instrumented thoracic and lumbar fusion, are made dramatically better with the addition of image guidance. While it is a common misconception that its use adds time to most surgeries, after a short learning curve, my entire OR team and I have become proficient in its use and it now actually saves me time in the operating room.”
Dr. Mimran earned his medical degree at the University of Southern California School of Medicine in Los Angeles and completed his residency in neurological surgery at the University of Florida in Gainesville, where he also completed a clinical fellowship in spine surgery.
