Abstract

Functional magnetic resonance tomography provides a non-invasive method for mapping the cerebral cortex. The aim of the present work was to assess the potential and suitability of this method in a series of brain disorders. Studies were performed on 32 volunteers (mean age 37.8 +/- 20.9 years) and 16 patients with tumors of the cerebral cortex (mean age 36.2 +/- 24.2 years). Initial functional images were processed by statistical methods. Computed activation maps were superimposed on anatomical images. In 89% of cases, functional magnetic resonance tomography allowed the motor cortex and Broca's area to be localized; in almost 69%, the method impinged on the therapeutic tactics used in patients with cerebral cortex lesions. Thus, functional magnetic resonance tomography can be used in clinical conditions to obtain information not yielded by other diagnostic methods and which can be used to plan the neurosurgical treatment of patients with supratentorial brain tumors with maximum preservation of cerebral cortex function. Assessments of the state of the motor and speech areas by this tomographic method has potential applications in neurosurgery and neurophysiology.
