1. Precise Tissue Sampling: iMRI helps in identifying the exact location of pathological tissues, allowing for precise biopsy. This ensures that the tissue samples sent for histological examination are representative of the disease.
2. Guiding Surgical Resection: In surgical oncology, for instance, iMRI can guide the surgeon to resect the entire tumor while preserving healthy tissue. Post-resection, the excised tissue can be immediately sent for histological examination to confirm the margins are clear of cancer cells.
3. Monitoring Tissue Changes: During certain procedures, iMRI can help monitor changes in tissues in response to interventions. These changes can be further studied histologically to understand the tissue response, aiding in therapeutic decisions.
