Usually, conventional magnetic resonance spin echo images (MRI) are sufficient to establish the diagnosis of intracranial pathology. Planning and executing a neurosurgical procedure requires the ability of the neurosurgeon to transform these two-dimensional MRI into a threedimensional (3-D) virtual

Since 1995 we have been investigating the localization of the cortical motor strip by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in central brain tumor cases. Forty patients have been operated on using these data for preoperative planning. Intraoperative sensory evoked potentials (SEP) and cortica
Neurologic and neuropsychologic treatment related sequelae are increasingly encountered in children with cancer, but conventional means of neurologic investigation are insensitive to the presence and extent of damage. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has shown brain damage not demonstrable by other
