Fiber Tractography and Diffusion Tensor Imaging in Children with Agenesis and Dysgenesis of Corpus Callosum: A Clinico-Radiological Correlation
Background Corpus callosum is the largest commissure in human brain. It consists of tightly packed white matter tracts connecting the two cerebral hemispheres. In this study we aimed to evaluate role of fiber tractography (FT), and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in ped...
متن کاملAssessment of structural maturation of the optic radiation in children with probalistic tractography
Introduction The myelination of the visual pathway white matter has been shown to reach adult maturity before 3 years old with myelin staining on histological sections of dissected brains [1]. Diffusion tensor imaging and tractography provide an opportunity to assess in vivo, the structural maturation of the optic radiations (OR) in children. The objective of this study was to determine diffusi...
متن کاملVisual pathway study using in vivo diffusion tensor imaging tractography to complement classic anatomy.
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 limited because it has not been possible to separate the OR from neighboring tracts accurately and results may not apply to individual patients. Diffusion tensor imaging studies may be able to demonstrate the relationships ...

THE HUMAN VISUAL SYSTEM COMPRISES ELONGATED FIBER PATHWAYS THAT REPRESENT A SERIOUS CHALLENGE FOR DIFFUSION TENSOR IMAGING (DTI) AND FIBER TRACTOGRAPHY: while tracking of frontal fiber bundles may be compromised by the nearby presence of air-filled cavities, nerves, and eye muscles, the anatomic courses of the three main fiber bundles of the optic radiation are subject to pronounced inter-subje...
متن کاملDT-MRI Tractography and its Application in Cognitive Neuroscience
Recent advancement of MRI techniques and development of new methods of image analysis have allowed us to study large neural tracts within the human brain. This is based on the principle of diffusion tensor MRI that is similar to that of diffusion-weighted imaging but takes magnitude and direction of the diffusion of water into account. Using this technique we have been able to define large neur...
