DTI Tractography and Intratumoral Function
Tract | Positive function within tumor | P value |
---|---|---|
CST | 16/56 (28.6%) | P < .001 |
Tract invaded | 6/8 (75%) | |
Tract preserved | 7/22 (31.8%) | |
Tract displaced | 2/13 (15.4%) | |
Tract not in direct proximity with tumor | 1/13 (7.7%) | |
AF/SLF | 18/117 (15.4%) | P = .01 |
Tract invaded | 1/7 (14.3%) | |
Tract preserved | 12/41 (29.3%) | |
Tract displaced | 4/37 (10.8%) | |
Tract not in direct proximity with tumor | 1/22 (3.0) |
CST = corticospinal tract, AF = arcuate fasciculus, SLF = superior longitudinal fasiculus.
Note: some patients were mapped for both language and motor function.
