Summary:In this article, we report efforts to integrate a number of state-of-the-art technologies for MRI-guided neurosurgery at the Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) in Boston. These include advanced intraoperative imaging, image registration, visualization, navigation, minimally invasive ablative therapies, and robotics. This is part of a multidisciplinary Image-Guided Therapy Program that comprises several key research thrusts, including the surgical planning laboratory, magnetic resonance therapy (MRT), focused ultrasound surgery, thermal ablation, and neurosurgery
