BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Functional brain mapping is an important technique for
neurosurgical planning, particularly for patients with tumors or epilepsy; however, mapping …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The functional characterization of the motor cortex is an
important issue in the presurgical evaluation of brain lesions. fMRI noninvasively identifies …

Background and purpose Task‐based functional MRI (fMRI) mapping of the motor function
prior to epilepsy surgery has limitations in children with epilepsy. We present a data‐driven …

Object In this study, the authors examined whether passive range of motion (ROM) under
conscious sedation could be used to localize sensorimotor cortex using functional MR (fMR) …

Localizing neurologic function within the brain remains a significant challenge in clinical
neurosurgery. Invasive mapping with direct electrocortical stimulation currently is the clinical …

Preoperative mapping of brain functions is the most common clinical application of
functional MRI (fMRI)(1). The pre-surgical localization of eloquent areas has a positive …

OBJECTIVE Cerebral mapping for surgical planning and operative guidance is a
challenging task in neurosurgery. Pediatric patients are often poor candidates for many …

The aim of the present study was to evaluate motor area mapping using functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI) compared with electrical cortical stimulation (ECS). Motor …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Presurgical sensorimotor mapping with functional MR
imaging is gaining acceptance in clinical practice; however, to our knowledge, its …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been used to enhance the
understanding of neuroanatomy and functions of the brain and is becoming an accepted …
