OBJECTIVE: To investigate the contribution of high-field intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) for further reduction of tumor volume in glioma surgery.METHODS: From April 2002 to June 2003, 182 neurosurgical procedures were performed with a 1.5-T magnetic resonance system. Among patients who underwent these procedures, 47 patients with gliomas (14 with World Health Organization Grade I or 11 glioma, and 33 with World Health Organization Grade III or IV glioma) who underwent craniotomy were investigated retrospectively. Completeness of tumor resection and volumetric analysis were assessed with intraoperative imaging data.RESULTS: Surgical procedures were influenced by iMRI in 36.2% of operations, and surgery was continued to remove residual tumor. Additional further resection significantly reduced the percentage of final tumor volume compared with first iMRI scan (6.9% +/- 10.3% versus 21.4% +/- 13.8%; P < 0.001). Percentages of final tumor volume also were significantly reduced in both low-grade (10.3% +/- 11.5% versus 25.8% +/- 16.3%; P < 0.05) and high-grade gliomas (5.4% +/- 9.9% versus 19.5% +/- 13.0%; P < 0.001). Complete resection was achieved finally in 36.2% of all patients (low-grade, 57.1 %; high-grade, 27.3%). Among the 17 patients in whom complete tumor resection was achieved, 7 complete resections (41.2%) were attributable to further tumor removal after iMRI. We did not encounter unexpected events attributable to high-field iMRI, and standard neurosurgical equipment could be used safely.CONCLUSION: Despite extended resections, introduction of high-field iMRI in conjunction with functional navigation did not translate into an increased risk of postoperative deficits. The use of high-field iMRI increased radicality in glioma surgery without additional morbidity.
