Comparing the risks of frameless stereotactic biopsy in eloquent and noneloquent regions of the brain: a retrospective review of 284 cases.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECT: Frameless stereotactic biopsy has been shown in multiple studies to be a safe and effective tool for the diagnosis of brain lesions. However, no study has directly evaluated its safety in lesions located in eloquent regions in comparison ... Read more...

Relationships between essential cortical language sites and subcortical pathways.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECT: Maps produced using either electrical stimulation or functional imaging have demonstrated a distributed network of cortical regions involved in expressive and receptive language tasks. The pattern of connectivity among components of this ... Read more...

The motor-evoked potential threshold evaluated by tractography and electrical stimulation.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECT: To validate the corticospinal tract (CST) illustrated by diffusion tensor imaging, the authors used tractography-integrated neuronavigation and direct fiber stimulation with monopolar electric currents. METHODS: Forty patients with brain ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Neuronavigation'

Definition: Intraoperative computer-assisted 3D navigation and guidance system generally used in neurosurgery for tracking surgical tools and localize them with respect to the patient's 3D anatomy. The pre-operative diagnostic scan is used as a reference and is transferred onto the operative field during surgery.
