BACKGROUND: Fusion of preoperative and intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) studies during stereotactic navigation may be very useful for procedures such as tumor resections but can be subject to error because of image distortion. OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of 3-dimensional (3D) vs...
