The anterior optic pathway (AOP) is a system of three structures (optic nerves, optic chiasma,
and optic tracts) that convey visual stimuli from the retina to the lateral geniculate nuclei. A …

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) enables the microstructural
characterization and reconstruction of white matter pathways in vivo non-invasively …

BACKGROUND: Knowledge of the individual course of the optic radiations (ORs) is
important to avoid postoperative visual deficits. Cadaveric studies of the visual pathways are …

The human visual pathway starts from the retina, passes through the retinogeniculate visual
pathway, the optic radiation, and finally connects to the primary visual cortex. Diffusion MRI …

Diffusion MRI tractography provides a non-invasive modality to examine the human
retinofugal projection, which consists of the optic nerves, optic chiasm, optic tracts, the lateral …

Introduction We sought to investigate the optimum b value for resolving crossing fiber using
high-angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI)-based multi-tensor tractography. The …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Knowing the exact location of the optic radiation
preoperatively is important for surgery of the temporal lobe. We hypothesized that a greater …

The optic radiation (OR) is one of the major components of the visual system and a key
structure at risk in white matter diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). However, it is …

Water diffusion analysis in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides an elective
visualization of fiber tract orientations in cerebral white matter, especially for optic tracts. We …

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 …
