Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ESB is a technique used to map the brain by carefully stimulating specific areas of the brain with electrical currents to determine regions responsible for specific functions. As the surgeon plans to map out specific brain function in the areas adjacent to the tumour, ESB is the most suitable method to use for this purpose. PET scanning, stereotaxic lesioning, and CT scanning are techniques used for different purposes in brain imaging and are not suitable for brain mapping during surgery.
