In the paper “Clinical diagnostic utility of transcranial magnetic stimulation in neurological disorders. Updated report of an IFCN committee” from Vucic et. al, authors state that, “TMS mapping of motor cortex representation based on image-guided navigated procedure of MEP recording is now an essential technique in the preoperative evaluation of brain tumor surgery to improve postoperative functional outcome.”
Jarmo Laine, VP of Medical Affairs at Nexstim, states: “The report is significant for us at Nexstim. We hope that with the recognition of the IFCN committee the value of TMS in pre-operative risk-assessment and planning will become more widely recognized and as a result, more patients will have access to it”.
