Functional MRI (fMRI) for preoperative language mapping of Wernicke’s and Broca’s areas in clinical pediatric epilepsy presents various challenges resulting in poor patient compliance. We hypothesized that higher fMRI success rates can be achieved using intensive patient preparation in a fMRI practice session using a mock MRI scanner. Read More
