Presurgical Planning With Functional MRI (fMRI) Mapping of Motor Cortex in Patients With Cerebral Tumors

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Brain Tumors

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine if functional MRI is precise enough to provide information about the location of brain functions in patients who have brain tumors. This might allow physicians to use a non-invasive procedure to assist with brain mapping prior to surgery
