Does Functional Imaging Play a Role in Pre-Operative Diagnosis of Brain Tumours?
Welche Rolle hat funktionelle Magnetresonanztomografie in der preoperativen Diagnostik für Gehirntumore?
Abstract
Although there is a large variability in the neural organization of language function between individuals, there is an ongoing debate about functional imaging as a standard procedure in the preoperative setting of brain tumors. Brain mapping of the language centers differs from individual to individual in multilingual patients and changes in its architecture may occur as a result of neuroplasticity induced by a mass lesion. This article discusses the role of functional imaging in the preoperative setting.
Zusammenfassung
Obwohl die neuronale Organisation der Sprachfunktion von Mensch zu Mensch eine hohe inter-individuelle Variabilität zeigt, wird die funktionelle Bildgebung derzeit als Standardverfahren bei der präoperativen Behandlung von Hirntumoren weiterhin debattiert. Das Mapping der Sprachzentren ist bei mehrsprachigen Patienten unterschiedlich, und kann durch die Raumforderung induzierte Neuroplastizität zu Veränderungen der Sprachzentren führen. In diesem Artikel wird die Rolle der funktionellen Bildgebung im präoperativen Setting erörtert.
