Terms & Conditions of Use

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) aids brain tumor treatment planning by mapping crucial brain functions. While effective, standardized guidelines are needed for its full clinical integration.

Area of Science:

Neuroimaging
Neurosurgery
Radiology

Context:

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a key neuroimaging technique for brain tumor patients.
It enables non-invasive mapping of motor and speech functions for surgical planning.

Purpose:

To review current research and provide practical information on presurgical fMRI.
To highlight the role of fMRI in optimizing treatment and preserving neurological function.

Summary:

fMRI precisely localizes and lateralizes brain activity, guiding treatment selection and function-preserving surgery.
Combining fMRI with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) allows visualization of critical white matter tracts for neuronavigation.
Despite validated accuracy, fMRI lacks widespread adoption due to missing clinical guidelines and certifications.
