The ability of diffusion tensor MRI to detect the preferential diffusion of water in cerebral
white matter tracts enables neurosurgeons to noninvasively visualize the relationship of …

Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has been at the forefront of cancer imaging since the early
2000s. Before its application in clinical oncology, this powerful technique had already …

Diffusion-based tractography enables the graphical reconstruction of the white matter
pathways in the brain and spinal cord of living humans. This technique has many potential …

Preoperative DTI Fiber Tracking (DTI-FT) reconstruction of functional tracts combined with
intraoperative subcortical mapping (ISM) is potentially useful to improve surgical procedures …

Magnetic resonance tractography based on diŠusion-tensor imaging was ˆrst introduced to
the medical imaging community a decade ago. It has been successfully applied to a number …

Diffusion magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is evolving into a potent tool in the examination
of the central nervous system. Although it is often used for the detection of acute ischemia …

OBJECTIVE We sought to investigate the three-dimensional structure of the white matter of
the brain by means of the fiber-dissection technique and diffusion-tensor magnetic …

BACKGROUND: High-definition fiber tracking (HDFT) is a novel combination of processing,
reconstruction, and tractography methods that can track white matter fibers from cortex …

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) has become the surgical
therapy of choice for medically intractable Parkinson's disease. However, quantitative …

Visualization in Medicine is the first book on visualization and its application to problems in
medical diagnosis, education, and treatment. The book describes the algorithms, the …
