“…The suboptimal imaging quality was evidenced by ambiguity in interpretation of several intraoperative imaging cases previously reported by our neurosurgeons and by other studies (23,(30)(31)(32)(33)(34), and by the literature's false-positive rate, which has been reported to be up to 16% for iMRI (35). Image artifacts due to drilling metal debris, hemostatic agents, or blood accumulation present additional difficulties in discerning residual tumor remnants from intraoperative changes (33,36,37). The occurrence of these unavoidable intraoperative realities can lead to incomplete resections or, even more concerning, unnecessary resection that may cause neurological comorbidities and negatively affect patient outcomes.…”

Purpose: To compare low-field (0.15 T) intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI)-guided tumor resection with both conventional magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI)-guided tumor resection and high-field (1.5 T) iMRI-guided resection from the clinical and economic point of view. Materials and Methods:We retrospectively compared 65 iMRI patients with 65 cMRI patients in terms of hospital length of stay, repeat resection rate, repeat resection interval, complication rate, cost to the patient, cost to the hospital, and cost effectiveness. In addition, we compared our low-field results with previously published high-field results.Results: The complication rate was lower for iMRI vs. cMRI in patients presenting for their initial tumor resection (45 vs. 57 complications, P ¼ 0.048). The iMRI repeat resection interval was longer for this cohort (20.1 vs. 6.7 months, P ¼ 0.020). iMRI was more cost-effective than cMRI for patients who had repeat resections ($10,690/ RFY vs. $76,874/RFY, P < 0.001). We found no other clinical or economic differences between iMRI-and cMRIguided tumor resection surgeries. Overall, we did not find the advantages to low-field iMRI that have been reported for high-field iMRI. Conclusion:There is no adequate justification for the widespread installation of low-field iMRI in its current development state.

Object. The loss of anatomical landmarks, frequently invasive tumor growth, and tissue changes make transsphenoidal reoperation of nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas (NFAs) challenging. The use of intraoperative MRI (iMRI) may lead to improved results. The goal of this retrospective study was to evaluate the impact of iMRI on transsphenoidal reoperations for NFA.Methods. Between September 2002 and July 2012, 109 patients underwent reoperations in which 111 transsphenoidal procedures were performed and are represented in this study. A 1.5-T Magnetom Sonata Maestro Class scanner (Siemens) was used for iMRI. Follow-up iMRI scans were acquired if gross-total resection (GTR) was suspected or if no further removal seemed possible.Results. Surgery was performed for tumor persistence and regrowth in 26 (23%) and 85 (77%) patients, respectively. On the initial iMRI scans, GTR was confirmed in 19 (17%) patients. Remnants were located as follows: 65 in the cavernous sinus (71%), 35 in the suprasellar space (38%), 9 in the retrosellar space (10%). Additional resection was possible in 62 (67%) patients, resulting in a significant volume reduction and increased GTR rate (49%). The GTR rates of invasive tumors on initial iMRI and postoperative MRI (poMRI) were 7% and 25%, respectively. Additional remnant resection was possible in 64% of the patients. Noninvasive tumors were shown to be totally resected on the initial iMRI in 31% of cases. After additional resection for 69% of the procedures, the GTR rate on poMRI was 75%. Transcranial surgery to resect tumor remnants was indicated in 5 (5%), and radiotherapy was performed in 29 (27%) patients. After GTR, no recurrence was detected during a mean follow-up of 2.2 ± 2.1 years.Conclusions. The use of iMRI in transsphenoidal reoperations for NFA leads to significantly higher GTR rates. It thus prevents additional operations and reduces the number of tumor remnants. The complication rates do not exceed the incidences reported in the literature for primary transsphenoidal surgery. If complete tumor resection is not possible, iMRI guidance can facilitate tumor volume reduction.
