Abstract
Background: There is a demand to establish complemental methods for the assessment of language lateralization in neuropediatric patients. Today's standard methods for the assessment of language lateralization, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and the intracarotid brevital procedure (Wada test) cannot be utilized in every case. Their inherent characteristics circumvent the applicability in children with diminished capacity to cooperate. Functional transcranial Doppler sonography (fTCD) offers a tool to assess the language lateralization in a convenient and non-frightening way even in young children. Here, the first findings on a direct validation of the fTCD procedure are presented comparing fTCD with fMRI and the Wada test.
