Identifying eloquent cortex near brain tumors is crucial for surgical planning. This study integrates preoperative fMRI with neuronavigation and intraoperative ECS mapping for improved accuracy and patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neuroimaging
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Effective surgical planning for brain tumors requires precise identification of eloquent cortex.
  • Electrocortical stimulation (ECS) is the gold standard for intraoperative functional mapping.
  • Non-invasive techniques like functional MRI (fMRI) are increasingly used for preoperative surgical planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the integration of preoperative fMRI into a neuronavigation system for surgical planning.
  • To integrate fMRI data with intraoperative ECS mapping results for cross-validation.
  • To enhance the utility of preoperative functional mapping in neurosurgical procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of preoperative fMRI data into a neuronavigation system.

  • Creation of a three-dimensional dataset combining fMRI and ECS findings for cross-validation.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful integration of preoperative fMRI into neuronavigation systems for surgical planning.
    • Demonstrated utility of combining fMRI with intraoperative ECS for enhanced mapping accuracy.
    • Development of a 3D dataset for cross-validation of functional mapping techniques.

    Conclusions:

    • Preoperative fMRI integrated with neuronavigation aids surgical planning for brain tumors.
    • Combining fMRI and ECS mapping provides a robust method for cross-validation.
    • Advances in neuroimaging and navigation hold potential for optimizing craniotomy and reducing patient strain.
