...Julia R. Schneider; Ami B. Raval; Karen Black; Michael Schulder Introduction: White matter tracts can be observed using tractograms generated from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). However, the dependence of these white matter tract images on subjective variables, including how seed points are placed...

...) and quantitative anisotropy (QA) values within cisternal segment and pontine nuclei of the affected-side and unaffected-side trigeminal nerves, using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Associations between DTI metrics and Barrow Neurological Institute (BNI) pain scores were examined. Results: The volumes were...

...-depressed adult volunteers underwent MRI including diffusion tensor imaging. Individualized regions of interest were formed in both hemispheres using native non-normalized data to simulate a subcaudate tractotomy. Tractography and analysis were performed and the exact tract locations measured including mean...

...Aditya Vedantam; Ping Hou; T. Linda Chi; Patrick M. Dougherty; Kenneth R. Hess; Ashwin Viswanathan Background: Up to 20% of patients experience only partial pain relief after percutaneous cordotomy for cancer pain. Objective: To determine whether diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can quantify neural...

...Won Kim; Srinivas Chivukula; Jason Hauptman; Nader Pouratian Background/Aims: Thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) for the treatment of medically refractory pain has largely been abandoned on account of its inconsistent and oftentimes poor efficacy. Our aim here was to use diffusion tensor imaging...

... nucleus by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) fiber tractography (FT) and confirm it intraoperatively. Methods and Results: FT was performed to identify the thalamic VPL nucleus in 6 healthy volunteers and a patient with intractable chronic pain. The patient had preoperative DTI followed by DBS...

... on conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [ 3 ], hence the transcendence that integrating diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)-based tractography might entail. Tractography provides 3D graphic reconstructions of the cerebral white matter fibers via DTI. DTI is a technique that is based on MRI, capable...

... the thalamus itself or the posterior limb of the internal capsule (PLIC) are targets for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with thalamic pain, but due to its low contrast, conventional MRI cannot visualize the STC directly. Objectives: To show the feasibility of integrating diffusion tensor imaging...

...Kartik D. Bhatia; Luke Henderson; George Ramsey-Stewart; James May Background: The most investigated target for deep brain stimulation in depression is the subgenual cingulate gyrus (Cg25) which has been shown to be a critical hub for signalling in the condition. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI...

...Sang Seok Yeo; Seong Ho Kim; Young Hwan Ahn; Su Min Son; Sung Ho Jang We investigated the anatomical location of the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) in the human brain using diffusion tensor imaging. Forty normal healthy subjects were recruited. To confirm the boundary of the PPN, we analyzed...
