Advances in imaging technologies have influenced neurosurgical techniques and decisions and have enabled previously impossible resections, and neurosurgeons rely on the various modalities to make surgery as safe as possible. We look at the different technologies that have developed and how they are used by neurosurgeons, in combination with the knowledge of anatomy, to evaluate brain and spinal tumors and make surgical decisions that improve treatment outcomes.
