Neuroimaging plays an ever evolving role in the diagnosis, treatment planning, and post-
therapy assessment of brain tumors. This review provides an overview of current magnetic …

MRI offers a tremendous armamentarium of different methods that can be employed in brain
tumor characterization. MR diffusion imaging has become a widely accepted method to …

Introduction Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI), which is based on Echo Planar Imaging
(EPI) protocols, is becoming increasingly important for neurosurgical applications. However …

Glioblastomas (GBM), one of the most common tumors of the central nervous system, are
associated with poor prognosis, even with all the scientific development of the last decades …

OBJECT Diffusion MRI has uniquely enabled in vivo delineation of white matter tracts, which
has been applied to the segmentation of eloquent pathways for intraoperative mapping. The …

There is great interest in the study of brain structural connectivity, as white matter
abnormalities have been implicated in many disease states. Diffusion magnetic resonance …

OBJECTIVE Brain tumors involving the primary motor cortex are often deemed unresectable
due to the potential neurological consequences that result from injury to this region …

The optimal surgical management of gliomas requires a balance between surgical
cytoreduction and preservation of neurological function. Preoperative functional …

OBJECTIVE Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) and tractography allows noninvasive mapping of
the structural connections of the brain, and may provide important information for …

Introduction Diffusion MRI tractography has been increasingly used to delineate white matter
pathways in vivo for which the leading clinical application is presurgical mapping of …
