Abstract

When planning for brain tumor resection, a balance between maximizing resection and minimizing injury to eloquent brain parenchyma is paramount. The advent of blood oxygenation level-dependent functional magnetic resonance (fMR) imaging has allowed researchers and clinicians to reliably measure physiologic fluctuations in brain oxygenation related to neuronal activity with good spatial resolution. fMR imaging can offer a unique insight into preoperative planning for brain tumors by identifying eloquent areas of the brain affected or spared by the neoplasm. This article discusses the fMR imaging techniques and their applications in neurosurgical planning.

Keywords: Brain mapping; Functional MR imaging; Presurgical mapping; Resting state fMR imaging; Task fMR imaging.
