基于弥散张量成像的纤维追踪技术为在体脑内定位白色物质通路提供了独特的可能性。在患有脑肿瘤或脑占位性病变的患者中，这些通路通常受损或显著移位。对于神经外科医生来说，了解病变相对于临床上有说服力的白色通路的确切位置对于制定适当的手术策略具有重要价值。我们在这里提出的初步调查结果，使用纤维跟踪技术在4例占位性病变，并讨论了潜在的和局限性的病变定位和神经外科计划的技术。(C)2003年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
The technique of fiber tracking based on diffusion tensor imaging offers the unique possibility of localizing the white matter pathways of the brain in vivo. In patients with cerebral tumors or space-occupying lesions of the brain, these pathways are often damaged or significantly displaced. Knowledge of the exact location of the lesion with respect to clinically eloquent white matter pathways is of great value to the neurosurgeon in planning the appropriate surgical strategy. We present here preliminary findings using the fiber tracking technique in four patients with space-occupying lesions and discuss the potential and limitations of the technique for lesion localization and neurosurgical planning.
