Here are five insights:
1. The ClearPoint Neuro Navigation System enables physicians to operate while simultaneously using MRI guidance. The procedure takes place in an MRI suite, eliminating the need for patients to move from MRI scanner to operating room.
2. MRI visualization is displayed in real-time with the system, allowing physicians to adjust trajectories to improve patient safety.
3. The minimally invasive aspect gives physicians the ability to define and place a laser probe into multiple regions of the tumor.
4. The University of Minnesota Medical Center is the first in the state to use MRI Interventions’ system. Physicians at the medical center worked with MRI Intervention over two weeks to have the system installed and undergo training.
5. MRI Interventions is a medical device company focused on developing technology for MRI-guided neurosurgical procedures.
