1. To understand the gyral and sulcal anatomy for localization of the central sulcus and perirolandic cortex.
2. To present various imaging methods and techniques for localization of the central sulcus and perirolandic cortex.
1. Gyral and sulcal patterns for localization of the central sulcus
a. Basic surface anatomy of the brain
b. Useful landmarks
2. Imaging methods
a. Techniques based on anatomic landmarks and relationships on imaging
b. Cortical thickness of the perirolandic cortex
c. MR signal intensity of the perirolandic cortex
d. Functional MRI
e. Magnetic encephalography
1. Accurate localization of the lesions near the central sulcus is essential for preoperative diagnosis and surgical planning.
2. Understanding of anatomical landmarks and relationships improve the accuracy in localization of the central sulcus and perirolandic cortex.
3. Various imaging methods and techniques can be used for the localization of the central sulcus and perirolandic cortex.
