[Abstract] The advantages of MR guidance in intraoperative brain neoplasms resection as follows: (1) Intraoperative MR imaging provides an accurate depiction of the entire surgical volume during the procedure, and allows updating of the changing anatomic relationships as the procedure processes. This real-time guidance can limit the damage of functionally intact and normal brain tissue. (2) The margins of brain neoplasms usually can be delineated more accurately with MR imaging than with direct visual inspection. Intraoperative MR imaging could increase the rate of gross total removal for brain neoplasms. (3) The complications such as haematoma could be detected by intraoperative MRI at the end of the procedures, which can be immediately resolved before suturing the incision. (4) Functional MR imaging and dynamic enhancement MR imaging can further helped to improve the safety and efficacy. In the article, MR guidance techniques in the diagnosis and treament of brain neoplasms will be reviewed.
