Background And Objectives: Extent of resection (EOR) is a recognized predictor of survival in adults with diffuse high-grade glioma (HGG) but can only be calculated postoperatively. We developed novel whole-brain tractography (WBT)-based metrics to quantify tumor resectability and predict survival outcomes using only preoperative data.

Methods: Consecutive adults with biopsied or resected HGGs were retrospectively reviewed.

Direct Localization of the VIM/DRTT Using Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping in Essential Tremor: A Pilot MRI Study.

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol

July 2025

Background And Purpose: Accurate localization of the ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) within the dentatorubrothalamic tract (DRTT) is critical for effective neurosurgical treatment of essential tremor (ET). This study evaluated the feasibility and anatomical specificity of quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) for direct VIM/DRTT visualization, comparing it with conventional diffusion tractography-based reconstructions.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-seven participants (10 healthy controls, 17 ET patients) were enrolled across two institutions and imaged on 3T MRI systems.

Introduction: In Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, modulation of the fibre tracts of the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical loop is the presumed mechanism of action of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN). Therefore, we explored patient-individual cortical structural connectivity of the volume of tissue activated (VTA), as well as DBS-induced modulation of fibre tracts connecting the STN with cortical and subcortical nodes, and their correlation with therapeutic effects.

Methods: A retrospective cohort of n = 69 PD patients treated with bilateral DBS of the STN was analysed.

Comparison of structural connectomes for modeling deep brain stimulation pathway activation.

Introduction: Structural connectivity models of the brain are commonly employed to identify pathways that are directly activated during deep brain stimulation (DBS). However, various connectomes differ in the technical parameters, parcellation schemes, and methodological approaches used in their construction.

Objective: The goal of this study was to compare and quantify variability in DBS pathway activation predictions when using different structural connectomes, while using identical electrode placements and stimulation volumes in the brain.

Article Synopsis
  • The retinogeniculate visual pathway (RGVP) transmits visual data from the retina to the brain, making its identification crucial for understanding vision-related conditions.
  • DeepRGVP, a new deep learning framework, allows efficient and precise mapping of the RGVP from diffusion MRI data, overcoming the challenges of manual tract selection.
  • Experiments demonstrate DeepRGVP's superior accuracy in identifying the RGVP compared to existing methods, even in patients with lesions, highlighting the promise of deep learning in improving visual pathway analysis.
