Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a noninvasive technique that is increasingly used to understand the cerebral cortical networks and organizations. In this paper, we describe the role of fMRI for mapping language networks in the presurgical workup of patients with medically intractable temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Studies comparing fMRI with the intracarotid sodium amobarbital (Wada) test and fMRI with intraoperative cortical stimulation mapping for language lateralization and/or localization in medically intractable TLE are discussed.
功能磁共振成像（fMRI）是一种非侵入性技术，越来越多地用于了解大脑皮层网络和组织。在本文中，我们描述了fMRI在药物难治性颞叶癫痫（TLE）患者术前评估中绘制语言网络的作用。本文还讨论了将fMRI与颈内动脉注射阿米妥钠（Wada）试验进行比较的研究，以及将fMRI与术中皮层刺激图谱用于药物难治性TLE的语言侧化和/或定位的研究。
