Functional MRI is a critical step in preoperative surgical planning. This noninvasive imaging technique assists neurosurgeons in maximizing surgical outcomes while minimizing surgical risks. By viewing the function of eloquent cortex surrounding tissue to be resected, doctors can view vital information regarding the anatomical localization of brain function and its proximity to a lesion or affected tissue. Removal of this affected tissue while preserving function is an essential goal of neurosurgical therapies, and the localization of eloquent cortical tissue is necessary to decrease the neurological morbidity of these procedures. "... your facility will have one of the most advanced and
easy-to-use presurgical mapping capabilities available"
Preoperative mapping with fMRI prior to brain tumor or epilepsy surgery yields significantly improved outcomes:
Improved treatment planning
Increased surgeon confidence
More aggressive treatment alternatives
Reduced neurological morbidity
Minimized surgical time and healthcare costsThe Neurognostics Clinical fMRI SolutionOur fMRI System was developed to be a complete clinical fMRI solution; seamlessly integrating with existing MRI workflow and reliably mapping a patient's cognitive regions. By incorporating an easy-to-use workflow software and extensive library of Stimulation Paradigms, Neurognostics' fMRI system acquires standardized and accurate fMRI images. By utilizing Neurognostics data processing and reporting service, each data set is completed with a comprenensive patient report and fMRI images that can be viewed in a format that is compatible with your neuronavigation system. By investing in the Neurognostics fMRI System, your facility will have one of the most advanced presurgical mapping capabilities available.
