Resting State Functional MR Imaging of Language Function
Resting state functional MR imaging methods can provide localization of the language system; however, presurgical functional localization of the language system with task-based functional MR imaging is the current standard of care before resection of brain tumors. These methods provide similar results and comparing them could be helpful for presurgical planning. We combine information from 3 data resources to provide quantitative information on the components of the language system. Tables and figures compare anatomic information, localization information from resting state fMR imaging, and activation patterns in different...

Functional Brain Anatomy
Knowledge of functional neuroanatomy is essential to design the most appropriate clinical functional MR imaging (fMR imaging) paradigms and to properly interpret fMR imaging study results. The correlation between neuroanatomy and brain function is also useful in general radiologic practice, as it improves the radiologist's ability to read routine brain examinations. Functional MR imaging is used primarily to determine the areas involved in functioning of movements, speech, and vision. Preoperative fMR imaging findings also play a key role in the neurosurgeon's decision to perform a biopsy, a subtotal resection, or a maxima...

Methods of Analysis
There are many technical and nontechnical steps involved in a successful clinical functional MRI (fMRI) scan. The output from scanning and analysis can only be as good as the input, so task instruction and rehearsal are the most important steps during an clinical fMRI procedure. Properly pre-processed data significantly affects statistical analysis, which has a great impact on image interpretation. Even though there is general agreement on how to process clinical fMRI data, such as algorithms for head motion detection and correction, the theory and practicalities associated with data processing remain complex and constantl...

Patient Preparation and Paradigm Design in fMRI
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is useful for localizing eloquent cortex in the brain prior to neurosurgery. Language and motor paradigms offer a wide range of tasks to test brain regions within the language and motor networks. With the help of fMRI, hemispheric language dominance can be determined. It also is possible to localize specific motor and sensory areas within the motor and sensory gyri. These findings are critical for presurgical planning. The most important factor in presurgical fMRI is patient performance. Patient interview and instruction time are crucial to ensure that patients understand and co...

Functional MR Imaging: Ready for Clinical Prime Time
Functional MR imaging (fMR imaging) has clearly revolutionized the imaging and understanding of the human brain. Within the past few years, this powerful technology has advanced into the clinical arena, not only in major academic centers but also into small-group private practices. At the present time, fMR imaging (or an analogous method, such as magnetoencephalography or transcranial magnetic stimulation) should be part of the preoperative workup in patients with brain tumors or seizure disorders.

Introduction to Functional MR Imaging
During the past decade, functional MR imaging has rapidly moved from the research environment into clinical practice. Preoperative functional MR imaging is now standard clinical practice not only in major academic institutions, but also in community neurosurgical and neuroradiologic practices. The clinical use of functional MR imaging will only increase in the years to come. Application of functional MR imaging (including resting-state functional MR imaging) to the context of neuropsychiatric diseases is likely to continue to advance. (Source: Neuroimaging Clinics)

The Problem of Neurovascular Uncoupling
This article reviews the assessment of NVU related to focal brain lesions with emphasis on the use of cerebrovascular reactivity mapping measurement methods and resting state BOLD fMR imaging metrics in the detection of NVU, as well as the use of amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation metrics to mitigate the effects of NVU on clinical fMR imaging activation.
