Synopsis
Accurate presurgical brain mapping enables preoperative risk assessment and intraoperative guidance to minimize postoperative deficits. Here we compare mapping accuracy of task-based fMRI (tbfMRI), BOLD and Functionnectome resting state fMRI (rsfMRI), DTI and constrained spherical deconvolution (CSD)-based tractography in 21 preoperative neurosurgical patients using intraoperative electrical stimulation (DES) as the ground truth for functional mapping. Accuracy was estimated based on minimum distance between MRI-based mapping and positive DES coordinates. We report that CSD outperforms DTI, and rsfMRI performs similarly to tbfMRI using DES. This demonstrates the potential benefits of using CSD and rsfMRI in clinical practice.
