The article introduces the applicability and benefit of imaging techniques used in the practice, particularly functional magnetic resonance

and diffuse tractography, for neurosurgical treatment of intra-axial brain tumours. It also elucidates the principles of the most

commonly employed electrophysiological methods (somatosensory evoked potential phase reversal, motor evoked potential monitoring,

electrical cortical stimulation in awake craniotomy) used to detect functionally significant areas of the brain and monitor their

functioning during surgery.

Keywords: functional magnetic resonance, diffuse tractography, electrophysiological monitoring, brain tumour surgery
