The method of incorporating functional data into neuronavigation systems is a promising tool that can be used in more radical surgery to lessen morbidity around eloquent brain areas.
Functional neuronavigation and intraoperative MRI can be used essentially simultaneously without the need for lengthy intraoperative patient transport. The combination of intraoperative imaging with functional neuronavigation offers the opportunity for more radical resections and fewer complications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
