Upstate offers the most advanced imaging options available in
our newest surgical suite. Scans taken during an operation are
immediately available for review, allowing surgeons to verify
the complete removal of tumors.
Said Dr. Satish Krishnamurthy after his first case in the intra-
operative suite: •I came out and told the family that I know
I took all the tumor out. We had the ability to get an MRI scan
before we closed the incision to see the tumor was indeed
totally removed.•
Powerful imaging also provides exceptional detail, which helps
surgeons avoid vital structures, verify placement of probes,
and minimize impact to healthy tissues.
The clarity of ƒ-tesla magnetic resonance imaging is ideal for
conditions that involve the brain, spine and musculoskeletal
system, including brain tumors, epilepsy and cancer.
