Clinical Efficiency of Motor Pathway Mapping Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging Tractography and Intraoperative Subcortical Stimulation in Cerebral Glioma Surgery
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating diffusion tensor tractography neuronavigation and intraoperative subcortical stimulation for Glioma, Motor Pathway. Completed, enrolled 58 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Resection of brain tumors in eloquent areas involves the risk of postoperative motor deficits. For brain tumors within or adjacent to the eloquent area, maximizing tumor resection while preserving motor function is crucially important.we used DTI-based tractography to visualize the spatial relationship between brain lesions and the nearby pyramidal tract(PT) in patients with malignant brain tumors and confirmed functional connections of the illustrated PT by direct electrical stimulation. We evaluated the reliability of DTI-based tractography for PT mapping using intraoperative subcortical stimulation ) and the usefulness of the combination of two techniques.
