For more than a decade, OHSU has provided outstanding neurosurgical
management of pituitary tumors (see Five-year
Pituitary Surgical Outcomes Data at OHSU). Making use
of the most advanced intraoperative MRI on the West Coast,
it is common for OHSU Neurosurgery to obtain complete resection of very complex
and large pituitary tumors. Intraoperative MRI produces images
of the brain during surgery enabling the surgeon to remove difficult
to visualize portions of pituitary tumors.
