MR imaging during neurosurgery

The centerpiece of a one billion Australian Dollar Westmead Health Precinct redevelopment project, the Central Acute Services Building is now equipped with Philips' most advanced medical imaging technology, including Australia's first two Philips Magnetic Resonance - Ingenia MR-OR - intraoperative systems.
