Preservation of the Optic Radiations based on comparative analysis of Diffusion Tensor Imaging Tractography and Anatomical dissection

Background Visualization of the precise course of the visual pathways is relevant to prevent damage that may inflict visual field deficits during neurosurgical resections. In particular the optic radiations (OR) are susceptible to such damage during neurosurgery. Cortical pathways can be mapped in v...
