Eleven studies were selected and comprised 431 participants: 377 patients with different types and locations of brain tumours, and 54 healthy controls (HC).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Results indicate that tb-fMRI could reliably locate the eloquent cortex with more than an 80% success rate. Furthermore, results were comparable with intraoperative mapping. Two studies reported that 68-81% of patients did not develop deficits in the postoperative period. Results also found that rs-fMRI can fill the gap in the situation of paediatric patients when other techniques do not apply to younger patients.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This study suggests that tb-fMRI is more effective for pre-operative mapping in pediatric patients, offering precise localisation of critical brain functions and enhancing surgical planning. Although rs-fMRI is less demanding and compatible with light sedation, it lacks the specificity needed for accurate identification of language, sensory, and motor areas, which limits its clinical relevance. rs-fMRI can aid in function-preserving treatments for brain tumour patients and reduce the need for invasive procedures. Combining tb-fMRI with intraoperative mapping optimizes precision and safety in pediatric-neurosurgery.</p>","PeriodicalId":19422,"journal":{"name":"Neuroradiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142471190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
