Diffusion Tensor Fiber Tractography for Arteriovenous Malformations: Quantitative Analyses to Evaluate the Corticospinal Tract and Optic Radiation

摘要

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: We hypothesized that diffusion tensor fiber tractography would be affected by intracranial arteriovenous malformation (AVM). The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the influence of intracranial AVM on corticospinal tract and optic radiation tractography.
