Language lateralization by fMRI and Wada testing in 229 patients with epilepsy: Rates and predictors of discordance

To more definitively characterize Wada/functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) language dominance discordance rates with the largest sample of patients with epilepsy to date, and to examine demographic, clinical, and methodologic predictors of discordance.
