Motivation: The Significance of fMRI in Surgical Planning for Tumour Resection and Epilepsy Surgery: Optimal Language Paradigms for Language Area Mapping
Goal(s): This paper explores the importance of fMRI in surgical planning and the most effective language paradigms for language area mapping.
Approach: fMRI allows neurosurgeons to pinpoint critical brain regions responsible for language, motor function, and sensory perception. This information is pivotal in minimizing postoperative neurological deficits
Results: For epilepsy surgery, it aids in delineating the epileptogenic zone as data clearly shows increase in seizure freedom with detailed imaging identifying the true extent of the lesion.
Impact: Resource for radiographers on how to perform a fMRI examination, sequence parameters and corresponding language paradigms.
