Curved-surface projection: an alternative method for visualizing functional MR imaging results.
Curved-surface projection (CSP) is a new technique for visualizing functional MR imaging data. This technique helps in identifying anatomic structures by demonstrating the whole gyral and sulcal pattern of the brain at once. Compared with other techniques, CSP preserves the spatial relation of eloquent areas to lesions. Especially in neurosurgical patients with space-occupying lesions, CSP helps in assigning the anatomy to its function.
