The main purpose of this site is to extend the intraoperative monitoring to include the neurophysiologic parameters with intraoperative navigation guided with Skyra 3 tesla MRI and other radiologic facilities to merge the morphologic and histochemical data in concordance with the functional data.

CNS Clinic
Located in Jordan Amman near Al-Shmaisani hospital, where all ambulatory activity is going on.
Contact: Tel: +96265677695, +96265677694.

Skyra running
A magnetom Skyra 3 tesla MRI with all clinical applications started to run in our hospital in 28-October-2013.

Shmaisani hospital
The hospital where the project is located and running diagnostic and surgical activity.

This is a neurosurgical site dedicated to intraoperative monitoring to catch in time the early signs of possible functional complications before they evolve to morphologic ones.

Complications in neurosurgery

So as to have a digital data, the best ever made Inomed Highline ISIS system was put in service to provide documented information about the complications.

Directed by Prof. Munir Elias

Team in action.

Starting from July-2007 all the surgical activities of Prof. Munir Elias will be guided under the electrophysiologic control of ISIS- IOM
