Thank you for sharing your story. Although fMRI has low resolution, it can be very useful for surgical planning in certain clinical scenarios. For example, to determine hemispheric dominance: "Although the estimated percentages are of some debate, language is the purview of the left hemisphere in approximately 95% of right-handed people and 70% of left-handed people ... At MSKCC, language lateralization mapping is most often requested in right-handed patients with left hemispheric lesions, left-handed patients with left or right hemispheric lesions, or right-handed patients with right hemispheric lesions and signs or symptoms of aphasia."
