Object. Although a growing number of authors currently advocate surgery to treat low-grade
gliomas, controversy still persists, especially because of the risk of inducing neurological …

Abstract FUNCTIONAL BRAIN MAPPING may be useful for both preoperative planning and
intraoperative neurosurgical decision making.“Gold standard” functional studies such as …

OBJECTIVE Balancing the benefits of extensive tumor resection with the consequence of
potential postoperative deficits remains a challenge in malignant astrocytoma surgery …

Objectives: To describe functional recovery after surgical resection of low grade gliomas
(LGG) in eloquent brain areas, and discuss the mechanisms of compensation. Methods …

Object. Preserving vital cerebral function while maximizing tumor resection is a principal
goal in surgical neurooncology. Although functional magnetic resonance imaging has been …

OBJECTIVE: The integration of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data into
neuronavigation is a new concept for surgery adjacent to the motor cortex. However, the …

Object The aim of this study was to compare quantitatively the methods of preoperative
magnetic source (MS) imaging and intraoperative electrophysiological cortical mapping …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a non-invasive technique that is widely
available and can be used to determine the spatial relationships between tumor tissue and …

OBJECTIVE: Intraoperative image data may be used not only to evaluate the extent of a
tumor resection but also to update neuronavigation, compensating for brain shift. To date …
