Intraoperative angio proves worth for brain surgery
Results from a decade-long study at the National Brain Aneurysm Center in St. Paul, MN, indicate that angiography to monitor intracranial brain aneurysm clip placement is safe and has altered management in more than one of 10 cases.
Results from a decade-long study at the National Brain Aneurysm Center in St. Paul, MN, indicate that angiography to monitor intracranial brain aneurysm clip placement is safe and has altered management in more than one of 10 cases.
NBAC chair Dr. Eric Nussbaum and his colleagues reviewed 1025 cases performed at this institution between 1997 and 2006. They found that angio led to clip repositioning or additional clip placement in 96 (9.3%) patients and helped detect hidden vascular disease in 30 (2.9%) additional cases. Nussbaum discussed the findings at the 2008 American Association of Neurological Surgeons meeting in Chicago.
"Intraoperative angiography did not add a significant amount of time and did not have any significant complications," he said.
New Survey Explores Radiologist and Neurologist Comfort Level with AI Triage for Brain MRI
January 7th 2025Survey results revealed that 71 percent of clinicians preferred adjunctive AI in facilitating triage of brain MRI scans and 58 percent were comfortable utilizing AI triage without input from radiologists.
