Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is an advanced imaging technique that helps to establish the topographic-anatomical relationship of tumours with the surrounding white matter tracts. Intra-operatively when used with neuro-navigation, it helps in minimizing injury to functional brain parenchyma, decreasing the risk of post-operative neurological deficits. In this review, we have assessed the efficacy of DTI for brain tumour resection.
弥散张量成像(DTI)是一种先进的成像技术,有助于确定肿瘤与周围白质束的地形解剖关系。术中与神经导航结合使用时,有助于最大限度地减少对功能性脑实质的损伤,降低术后神经功能缺损的风险。在本综述中,我们评估了 DTI 用于脑肿瘤切除的效果。
