Preoperative Diffuson Tensor Imaging (DTI): contribution to surgical planning and validation by intraoperative electrostimulation

  • Chapter
Brain Mapping

Abstract

Surgical resection of tumors located within the so-called eloquent areas requires the pre- and intraoperative identification of cortical and subcortical functional sites to achieve the goal of a satisfactory tumor resection associated with a full preservation of the patient’s integrity.
