Surgical resection plays a central role in the management of gliomas. In this study, we
review the evidence in support of extent of resection to improve survival, symptom …

In this article, the underlying theory of clinical diffusion MR imaging, including diffusion
tensor imaging (DTI) and fiber tractography, is reviewed. First, a brief explanation of the …

OBJECT Awake craniotomy is currently a useful surgical approach to help identify and
preserve functional areas during cortical and subcortical tumor resections. Methodologies …

Object Diffusion-based MRI tractography is an imaging tool increasingly used in
neurosurgical procedures to generate 3D maps of white matter pathways as an aid to …

Object With recent advances in the adjuvant treatment of malignant brain astrocytomas, it is
increasingly debated whether extent of resection affects survival. In this study, the authors …

OBJECTIVE: It remains unknown whether the extent of surgical resection affects survival or
disease progression in patients with supratentorial low-grade gliomas. METHODS: We …

OBJECTIVE Balancing the benefits of extensive tumor resection with the consequence of
potential postoperative deficits remains a challenge in malignant astrocytoma surgery …

Object A growing number of published studies have recently demonstrated the role of
resection in overall survival (OS) for patients with gliomas. In this retrospective study, the …

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-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 …
