Abstract | Background: To determine the utility of an intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) system, the Polestar N30, for enhancing the resection control of non-enhancing intra-axial brain lesions. Materials and methods: Seventy-three patients (60 males [83.3%], mean age 37 years) with intra-axial brain lesions underwent resection at Sheba Medical Centre using the Polestar between February 2012 and the end of August 2018. Demographic and imaging data were retrospectively analysed. Thirty-five patients had a non-enhancing lesion (48%). Results: Complete resection was planned for 60/73 cases after preoperative imaging. Complete resection was achieved in 59/60 (98.3%) cases. After iMRI, additional resection was performed in 24/73 (32.8%) cases, and complete resection was performed in 17/60 (28.8%) cases in which a complete resection was intended. In 6/13 (46%) patients for whom incomplete resection was intended, further resection was performed. The extent of resection was extended mainly for non-enhancing lesions: 16/35 (46%) as opposed to only 8/38 (21%) for enhancing lesions. Further resection was not significantly associated with sex, age, intended resection, recurrence, or affected side. Univariate analysis revealed non-eloquent area, intended complete resection, and enhancing lesions to be predictive factors for complete resection, and non-enhancing lesions and scan time to be predictive factors for an extended resection. Non-enhancement was the only independent factor for extended resection. Conclusions: The Polestar N30 is useful for evaluating residual non-enhancing intra-axial brain lesions and achieving maximal resection. |
