Usefulness and Impact of Intraoperative Imaging for Glioma Resection on Patient Outcome and Extent of Resection: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) permit greater visualization and more accurate presurgical planning. Meta-analysis of these techniques for maximizing resection, postoperative functionality, and survival may further validate purported strengths of these techniques compared with standard neuronavigation. A systematic search of the PubMed database was...
