Integration of Navigation Improves Clinical Outcomes “Our results demonstrate that the optimal usefulness of intraoperative technology comes with the combination of iMRI with updated neuronavigation, resulting in both increased average percentage of tumor resection (98%) and decreased residual 3.3 cm³ for resection of supratentorial gliomas. “ Source: Marvin Bergsneider, M.D. et al. Clinical Neurosurgery Chapter 52: 219-222, 2004 Study based on 45 patients with supratentorial gliomas
