Diffusion MRI enabled in vivo microstructural imaging of the fiber tracts in the brain resulting
in its application in a wide range of settings, including in neurological and neurosurgical …

Conventional white matter (WM) imaging approaches, such as diffusion tensor imaging
(DTI), have been used to preoperatively identify the location of affected WM tracts in patients …

Experimental data on monkeys and functional studies in humans support the existence of a
complex fronto-parietal system activating for cognitive and motor tasks, which may be …

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have demonstrated diffusion tensor imaging tractography of
cranial nerves (CNs). Spatial and angular resolution, however, is limited with this modality. A …

Magnetic resonance imaging tractography permits in vivo visualization of white matter
structures. Aside from its academic value, tractography has been proven particularly useful …

BACKGROUND: The brainstem is one of the most challenging areas for the neurosurgeon
because of the limited space between gray matter nuclei and white matter pathways …

The implementation of fiber tracking or tractography modules in commercial navigation
systems resulted in a broad availability of visualization possibilities for major white matter …

The ability to visualize the brain's fiber connections noninvasively in vivo is relatively young
compared with other possibilities of functional magnetic resonance imaging. Although many …

Abstract Purpose Low-grade gliomas (LGGs) are slow growing brain tumors that often cause
displacement and/or infiltration of the surrounding white matter pathways. Differentiation …

Objective Fiber tractography (FT) has become an important noninvasive tool to ensure
maximal safe tumor resection in eloquent glioma surgery. Intraoperatively applied FT is still …
