ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is provided for use in surgical procedures comprising an operating table for receiving a patient for surgery and a magnetic resonance imaging system for obtaining images of a part of the patient at a series of times through the surgical procedure for analysis by the surgical team to allow the surgical team to monitor the progress of the surgery. The high field magnet and the operating table are shaped and arranged for positioning of the part of the patient into the magnetic field while the patient remains in place on the table and the magnet is mounted for movement between a first position spaced from the table and the patient thereon to allow the surgical team to carry out the surgical procedure and a second position for applying the magnetic field to the part of the patient. The table remains substantially stationary and only the magnet is moved to a position spaced from an adjacent end of the table to allow the surgical team to move around the adjacent end of table and to each side of the table to access the patient.
