TL;DR: Integration of the DT imaging-based tractography information into a traditional neuronavigation system demonstrated spatial relationships between lesions and the CST, allowing for the avoidance of tract injury during lesion resection.

TL;DR: The investigators found that diffusion tensor imaging-based tractography is a reliable way to map the white matter connections in the entire brain in clinical and basic neuroscience applications and could contribute to elucidating the neural networks of the human brain and shed light on higher brain functions.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to visualize language-related subcortical connections, such as the arcuate fasciculus (AF) by diffusion tensor (DT) imaging-based tractography, and demonstrated the hemispheric dominance of language functions.

TL;DR: Investigating whether the effect of scanner for cortex volumetry with atlas-based method is reduced using Diffeomorphic Anatomical Registration Through Exponentiated Lie Algebra (DARTEL) normalization compared with standard normalization found it to be reduced with DARTEL normalization.
