Comprehensive World Brain Mapping Course-Integrating Intraoperative Cortical Mapping with iMRI

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses the integration of interoperative MRI into mapping during brain surgeries. They explain that they have been using interoperative MRI primarily for integrating cortical subcortical mapping, and have had success in obtaining robust function using tools such as SSCP and CME. The speaker mentions several papers they have published, which explore the use of interoperative MRI to monitor and tailor resections based on DTI images. They also discuss the importance of understanding shifts in the cortical spinal tract during surgery, as this can indicate proximity to the resection cavity and potential deficits. The speaker presents cases and results from their own research, highlighting the benefits and limitations of interoperative MRI and mapping techniques. They conclude that the combination of intraoperative CST shift and direct electrical stimulation in interoperative MRI enhances resection, but caution that there can be significant surgical morbidity in eloquent motor and sensory areas.
