Nobel Medical College introduces Nepal’s first iMRI technology for advanced neuro surgery
The real-time monitoring capability of iMRI helps track neural activities during surgery, minimizing risks and enhancing precision.
KATHMANDU: Nobel Medical College, located in Kanchanbari, Biratnagar, has successfully introduced Neuro Intra-operative MRI (iMRI) technology for the first time in Nepal, providing successful treatment to thousands of patients.
Safe and effective surgeries are being performed by minimizing the complications of neurosurgery using cutting-edge technology.
Importance of Neuro Intra-Operative MRI (iMRI) technology
This technology enables real-time monitoring of a patient’s nervous system activity during surgery, as stated by the hospital.
As a result, it minimises potential complications during surgical procedures, ensuring safer, more effective, and low-risk treatment.
Under the leadership of senior neurosurgeon Professor Dr Prakash Kafle, this technology has been successfully utilised at Nobel Medical College.
According to him, Neuro Intra-Operative MRI technology has made it possible to successfully perform surgeries for serious neurological conditions such as brain tumours, spinal injuries, Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy, hydrocephalus (fluid accumulation in the brain), head injuries, spinal tumours, brain haemorrhages, and blood clotting issues.
For the first time in Nepal, this technology has been made available at Nobel Medical College. It offers patients, from newborns to the elderly, the opportunity for successful treatment with minimal risk.
Thousands of patients from Nepal and India have already benefited from this technology. By providing advanced technology-based medical services, Nobel Medical College has achieved a historic milestone in the field of neurosurgery.
Nobel Medical College is owned by Dr Sunil Sharma, a youth leader and Member of Parliament from the Nepali Congress.
Dr Sharma has been running free health camps from the Far East to the Far West of Nepal, providing medical services to hundreds of thousands of underprivileged people.
Patients who cannot be treated at these camps are offered free treatment at Kathmandu Medical College and Nobel Medical College.
