Patient 1 Correlation of Fractional anisotropy (FA) of Brainstem White Matter Tracts with Tumor Volume

Fractional anisotropy within the major tracts in the brainstem correlated with the tumor volume and time duration after radiotherapy. The FA recovers in the majority of tracts during the period of response to radiotherapy when the tumor volume also decreases and then the FA falls sharply during tumor progression.
