A purely functional Imaging based approach for transcortical resection of lesion involving the dominant atrium: Towards safer, imaging-guided, tailored cortico-leucotomies

A purely functional surgical approach to the DA provided promising preliminary results. A direct DTI-fMRI visualization of the eloquent structures proximal to DA allows surgeon to conceive an ultra-precise and “tailored” cortico-leucotomy for an optimal exposure of the lesion.
