Leading-edge technology
With the best operating suites in the Midwest, we are proud to operate at Regions Hospital. A great example of technology at Regions Hospital is the Polestar Intra-operative MRI. The PoleStar iMRI Navigation System integrates excellent imaging with state-of-the-art computer assisted navigational technology. The Polestar gives us the imaging we need and yet avoids the cumbersome adjustments needed for a standard high-field MRI in the operating room environment. As we continue to lead the Twin Cities Metro in neurosurgery care, technology such as the Polestar will play an important role in providing the best care for our patients.

As neurosurgeons at Regions Hospital, we believe a major positive feature is the operating suite. We have staff and equipment that allow us to provide excellent surgical coverage for most neurosurgical procedures - both spine and cranial.
