Clinical Utility and Impact of Functional Neuronavigation for Glioma Surgery(<SPECIAL ISSUE>Progress in Treatment for Malignant Gliomas)

Abstract

After co-registration of functional MRI with finger tapping tasks for corticospinal tract tractography, the results were imported to a neuronavigation system (functional neuronavigation). Cortical and subcortical stimulation with 5-train electric pulses was then used to identify the motor system. Functional neuronavigation was a reliable and practical technique for preservation of the motor function in glioma surgery
