Not long after completing a marathon, Brad, a young healthy triathlete, was diagnosed with a grade II brain tumor. Eric Leuthardt, MD, a Washington University neurosurgeon at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, used intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (IMRI) to perform a craniotomy and remove Brad's tumor. After recovering from his surgery, Brad is back to doing the things he loves - spending time with his family and training for his next race.
