Authors' recommendations:
Real time intraoperative MRI monitoring is a technology in use since 1996. The fact that structures may be viewed with the detail MRI provides is interesting and promising. No controlled, randomized trials have been conducted that would allow to adequately measure its benefit. The studies found are of poor methodological quality. In most of them, no control group was used and patients were followed up for a short period of time or not followed up at all. None of the studies evaluated in this document found benefits regarding mortality and relapse.At present, publications are oriented to compare low and high field strength equipments, but the extent of benefit for this tool has not been adequately studied yet.
