Background An accurate delineation of the optic radiation (OR) using diffusion MR
tractography may reduce the risk of a visual field deficit after temporal lobe resection …

Introduction Surgical resection is an effective treatment for temporal lobe epilepsy but can
result in visual field defects. This could be minimized if surgeons knew the exact location of …

Background Optic radiation (OR) tractography may help predict and reduce post-
neurosurgical visual field deficits. OR tractography methods currently lack pediatric and …

Our main objective was to evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility of optic radiation
(OR) reconstruction from diffusion MRI (dMRI) data. 14 adults were scanned twice with the …

Background Postoperative visual field defects are common after temporal lobe resection
because of injury to the most anterior part of the optic radiation, Meyer's loop. Diffusion …

Background Diffusion tensor tractography of the anterior extent of the optic radiation–
Meyer's loop–prior to temporal lobe resection (TLR) may reduce the risk for postoperative …

Object Sparing optic radiations can be of paramount importance during epilepsy surgery of
the temporal lobe. The anatomical heterogeneity of the Meyer's loop of the optic radiations …

Diffusion MRI tractography is essential for reconstructing white-matter projections in the
living human brain. Yet tractography results miss some projections and falsely identify …

Objective: Anterior temporal lobe resection (ATLR) is an effective treatment for refractory
temporal lobe epilepsy but may result in a contralateral superior visual field deficit (VFD) that …

INTRODUCTION: Temporal lobe resection for epilepsy involves a risk of damaging the
anterior part of the optic radiation, Meyer's loop, causing a contralateral upper quadrant …
