AIM OF THE STUDY: To present differences in frontal aslant tract (FAT) tractography among patients diagnosed with primary brain tumours and metastatic brain tumours. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The analysis included 38 patients diagnosed with a frontal brain tumour. A control group of 30 healthy patients was also considered. The FAT was delineated, taking into account ROI 1 - the superior frontal gyrus, and ROI 2 - SMA. Endpoints were determined on the pars opercularis and pars triangularis of the inferior frontal gyrus. FAT was delineated in four different ways for each patient. RESULTS: In the group of patients with a brain tumour, a lower volume of FAT and a reduced quantity of fibres were observed compared to the control group. Comparison of the examined parameters between patients with glioblastoma and metastasis revealed statistically significant differences for MD (p < 0.001) regardless of the selected projection. CONCLUSIONS: The difference in MD (mean diffusivity) among patients with metastatic tumours may be related to an increased oedema zone.
研究目的:展示原发性脑肿瘤和转移性脑肿瘤患者的额斜角束(FAT)轨迹的差异。
材料和方法:分析包括 38 名被诊断为额叶脑肿瘤的患者。还考虑了一个由 30 名健康患者组成的对照组。考虑 ROI1-额上回和 ROI2-SMA 来描绘 FAT。终点确定在下额回的眶部和三角部。为每位患者以四种不同的方式描绘了 FAT。
结果:与对照组相比,脑肿瘤患者的 FAT 体积较小,纤维数量减少。对胶质母细胞瘤和转移患者的检查参数进行比较,无论选择哪种投影,MD(平均弥散度)均存在统计学差异(p <0.001)。
结论:转移性肿瘤患者 MD(平均弥散度)的差异可能与水肿区的增加有关。
