Overview: In order to achieve its main goal of maximal tumor removal while avoiding postoperative neurologic deficits, neuro-oncological surgery is strongly dependent on image guidance. Among all currently available imaging modalities, MRI provides the best anatomic detail and is highly sensitive for intracranial pathology. However, conventional MRI does not detect the exact location of white matter tracts or areas of cortical activation. This essential information can be obtained non-invasively by means of diffusion tensor MRI (DT-MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI) respectively. Here they present their initial experience with fMRI and DT-MRI for surgical planning and guidance in ten brain tumor cases.
