In brief
This article reviews clinical applications of functional MRI in pediatric patients, focusing on preoperative brain mapping for epilepsy and tumor surgery. fMRI enables non-invasive localization of eloquent cortex to guide surgical planning and minimize postoperative deficits in children.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging has become a critical research tool for evaluating brain function during active tasks and resting states. This has improved our understanding of developmental trajectories in children as well as the plasticity of neural networks in disease states. In the clinical setting, functional maps of eloquent cortex in patients with brain lesions and/or epilepsy provide…
