White Matter Exploration Tutorial

White Matter Exploration for Neurosurgical Planning

Authors: Sonia Pujol, Ph.D., Ron Kikinis, M.D.

• Summary: Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) Tractography has the potential to bring valuable spatial information on tumor infiltration and tract displacement for neurosurgical planning of tumor resection. This tutorial walks the user through a workflow for segmenting the solid and cystic part of a tumor in a Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) case, and reconstructing the white matter fibers surrounding the pathology using streamline tractography.
