Preoperative FMRI associated with decreased mortality and morbidity in brain tumor patients

Conclusions This study analyzing a large retrospective series of brain tumor patients with and without the use of FMRI in the preoperative planning has resulted in improved mortality and morbidity outcomes with the use of fMRI. These results point to the importance of incorporating fMRI in presurgical planning in the clinical management of patients with brain tumors.
