We review the normal anatomy of the white matter (WM) tracts as they appear on directional
diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) color maps, which will almost certainly be available to the …

In recent decades the organic solvent toluene (methylbenzene) has emerged as one of the
best-studied neurotoxins. Long-term and intense exposure to toluene vapors in humans who …

Object. Intraoperative stimulation mapping of subcortical white matter tracts during the
resection of gliomas has become a valuable surgical adjunct that is used to reduce morbidity …

Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is a new MRI imaging technique sensitive to directional
movements of water molecules, induced by tissue barriers. This provides a new form of …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was applied to 12 patients with focal cortical dysplasia (FCD)
in frontal or occipital cortex. Fiber tractography was obtained from seeding points in superior …

The number of elderly people is increasing rapidly and, therefore, an increase in
neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular disorders causing dementia is expected. Alzheimer …

The goal of neuro-oncologic surgery is to maximize tumor resection while preserving vital
brain functions. Identification of the relation between the tumor and adjacent functional …

Despite significant advances in anatomical and functional neuroimaging modalities (eg,
magnetic resonance [MR] imaging [MRI], MR spectroscopy [MRS], diffusion and perfusion …

Analysis of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps derived from diffusion-weighted
MR imaging is emerging as a reproducible, sensitive, and quantitative tool to evaluate brain …

Diffusion weighted MRI offers the possibility to study the course of the cerebral white matter
tracts. In the present manuscript, the basics, the technique and the limitations of diffusion …
