We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience. To do so, we are actively working with consultants to update the website by increasing its accessibility and usability by persons who use assistive technologies
such as automated tools, keyboard-only navigation, and screen readers.
We are working to have the website conform to the relevant standards of the Section 508 Web Accessibility Standards developed by the United States Access Board, as
well as the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. These standards and guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. We believe that conformance with these standards and
guidelines will help make the website more user friendly for all people.
Our efforts are ongoing. While we strive to have the website adhere to these guidelines and standards, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website.
If, at any time, you have specific questions or concerns about the accessibility of any particular webpage, please contact WebsiteAccess@tenethealth.com so that we may be of assistance.
Harper University Hospital was the first in Michigan to offer this innovative technology, which provides physicians with "near-real-time" MRI views during surgery. The use of this technology promises increased accuracy, better surgical outcomes and faster recoveries.
Intraoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (iMRI) is a breakthrough for physicians and their patients — enabling neurosurgeons to work in the most delicate areas of the brain with increased accuracy. The result: Better surgical outcomes and reduced recovery times.
When is iMRI Used?
Neurosurgeons at Harper use iMRI technology to treat:
Tumors (benign and malignant; primary and metastatic — both in the brain itself and on the skull base)
Congenital disorders
Epilepsy
Infections such as abscesses
Movement disorders like Parkinson’s and Huntington’s diseases
Vascular malformations
What are the Benefits?
Harper University Hospital’s iMRI system provides “near-real-time” images which allow the surgeon to understand changes in the shape of the tumor and surrounding brain and differentiate between normal and abnormal brain tissues during the surgery. This innovation promises:
