Localization of cortical and subcortical lesions with MR brain surface imaging

Summary

A new MRI technique which permits non-invasive, direct visualization of cerebral sulci and gyri as well as cortical and subcortical lesions as a planar image is introduced. The usefulness of the technique in terms of lesion localization and surgical planning has been evaluated. As this technique, surface anatomy scanning (SAS), can provide excellent images of cortical gyri and sulci, accurate gyral localization was achieved in 87% of the cases. Surgical planning using SAS was performed in ten cases, and was found to be useful in determining the site of skin incision.
